Organisers of the Shehu Dikko Novelty match, SDNM, says Nigerian Sports is about to soar with the appointment of Mallam Shehu Dikko as the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, NSC.

Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently announced the scrapping of the Ministry of Sports and replaced it with a widely anticipated Sports Commission.

And the naming of Dikko as the Chairman of the Sports Commission has continued to generate widespread acceptance and commendation because of his vast experience in Sports Administration.

The Organizers say the Nigeria Sport sector is now going through a reset which will ultimately change the trajectories of Sports in the Country for good.

The SDNM Organisers says the whole essence of the Match is to honour and draw more awareness to the Sports community that there is a new sheriff in town who will need the support of all Nigerians to lead Nigerian Sports to where it truly belongs.

The Novelty match has been fixed for the 4th of December 2024 at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja and it will be between Team Shehu Dikko and Team Nigeria.
