We must develop our sports ecosystem, improve infrastructure, and foster collaboration. SWA pledges its full support to the chairman and the NSC.”

Dikko, in turn, praised SWA Sports for their initiative in organizing one Nigeria’s foremost sports business conference in Abuja earlier this year.

“It’s a welcome development, and SWA Sports’ mission clearly aligns with the objectives of the NSC. Beyond sports development, we aim to create a thriving sports economy,” Dikko said, adding that “the commission is open to partnering with SWA to attract more investors into the sports sector.”

He emphasized the need for private sector engagement, noting, “Private sector investors need to understand the opportunities and benefits of investing in sports. We would be honored to partner on any opportunity to grow our sports industry.”

In April, SWA Sports hosted the “2024 Sports as a Business” Conference, which brought private and public sector leaders together in Abuja to chart a new path for sports business in Nigeria, marking an important step forward in sports development.
