Samson Adamu Becomes CAF General Secretary, First Nigerian
On Thursday, Samson Adamu was confirmed as the substantive General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This appointment marks a significant milestone as Adamu becomes the first Nigerian to serve as the Chief Operating Officer of CAF in its 70-year history.
Prior to this role, he joined CAF as the Director of Competitions and later served as the Director of Tournaments and Events. Following the resignation of Swiss-Congolese Veron Mosengo-Omba, Adamu was appointed as CAF's Acting General Secretary on 29th March.
