Shaibu Transfers NIS Documents to Plateau Governor Mutfwang

On Tuesday, during a visit to Plateau State, Philip Shaibu, the Director General of the National Institute for Sports, officially handed over operational documents to Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang. This event signifies a crucial milestone in the ongoing decentralization of the National Institute for Sports, which aims to revitalize and expand its operations across Nigeria.

Shaibu emphasized the importance of returning the institute to its roots in Plateau State, where it was originally established 52 years ago. He noted that the decentralization aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's agenda to restore the institute's core mandate and enhance athletic development nationwide.

Governor Mutfwang welcomed Shaibu's visit, highlighting the commitment to sports development in Plateau State, including ongoing stadium projects. He praised Shaibu's leadership and vision for the institute, which has suffered from neglect in the past, and expressed optimism for the future of sports in the region.
