Egbe Hails Olopade on his Appointment as DG National Sports Commission
Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of Monimichelle Sports Facility Construction Company, Ebi Egbe, has congratulated Chief Bukola Olawale Olopade on his appointment as the Director General of the National Sports Commission ( NSC).
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday appointed the former two-time Ogun State Commissioner for Sports as the Director General of the reintroduced NSC as part of his administration’s effort at turning around the fortunes of Nigerian sports.
In his congratulatory message, the stadium facility construction expert noted that the combination of Olopade and Shehu Dikko as Chairman will help in attracting sponsors to Nigerian sports, saying that they have what it take to move the country’s sports forward.
“This appointment coming shortly after the President appointed Mallam Shehu Dikko as the Chairman of NSC is an indication that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is serious about charting a new course for the country’s sports. These are men with quality background in sports marketing and should be able to attract corporate Nigeria into sports.
“I believe strongly that with Otunba Olopade’s wealth of experience as a former Sports Commissioner, one time President of Wheelchair Tennis Federation of Nigeria and his organisation of various marathon races across the country and the experience of Shehu Dikko as a thorough marketing person, will rob off well on the country’s sports. I say a big congratulations to both of the,” concludes Egbe.
