Jim Okolo Appointed Vice President of Para Volleyball Federation

Hon. Chief Dr. Jim Chimezi Okolo has been appointed as the Vice President of the Nigeria Para Volleyball Federation, a landmark achievement that underscores the rise of influence in Nigerian sports administration. This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the National Sports Commission (NSC) as it advances its reform agenda to strengthen para sports and renew hope in Nigeria's sports economy.

The newly inaugurated board across para sports federations is commended for its transparency and credibility. Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the NSC, emphasized the importance of the federation in Nigeria's sports economy and urged the newly inaugurated leaders to build enduring institutions.

Hon. Jim Okolo's appointment is particularly significant due to his extensive leadership background beyond para volleyball, including roles as Chief Coordinator of the AFSA Federation and as a patron of Miss Football Nigeria. His career reflects a vision for sports as a tool for empowerment and community bridging.

The appointment is expected to champion policies that enhance visibility for athletes with disabilities and create pathways for Nigeria's para sports to thrive.
