NSC Reshuffles Sports Federation Secretaries for Efficiency
On October 8, 2026, the National Sports Commission (NSC) announced a reshuffling of General Secretaries across various national sports federations to strengthen administrative operations and improve performance. The announcement was made by Hon. Bukola Olopade during a meeting with General Secretaries in Abuja, and was documented in a statement signed by Dr. (Mrs.) Kehinde Ajayi, FCAI, ANIPR.
The reshuffle affects the Athletics, Padel, Basketball, Rowing, Shooting, Karate, Fencing, and Arm Wrestling federations. Olopade clarified that these changes are not dismissals but strategic reassignments to better utilize the secretaries' expertise.
He praised their professionalism and commitment to Nigerian sports, emphasizing their critical role in the NSC's mandate to regulate and develop sports in the country, as directed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. This restructuring follows a previous reassignment of 57 Secretary-Generals and five other officers in January 2025.
