“The Committee would be in a position to support the preparations ahead of the 2028 Olympics, and support for grassroots sports programmes too.

”With the Government pledging to enhance infrastructure, including a high-performance centre and upgraded facilities, stakeholders across the sports community are urged to collaborate in this transformative vision,” Dikko said.

He said that the planned initiatives would also aim at not only to creating jobs but also to reposition sports as a critical component of Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape, ensuring a robust and thriving sports industry.
