NIS Launches Operations Across Nigeria's Six Zones

The National Institute for Sports (NIS) has activated its operations across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, a significant development praised by Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu. The initiative, which will officially commence in April 2026, is designed to elevate sports education and training, contributing to the nation's sports development.

Shaibu emphasized that this move is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's agenda to diversify Nigeria's economy and empower the youth through sports. The operations will be decentralized, ensuring talent identification and development reach every corner of the nation.

Shaibu acknowledged that this achievement would not have been possible without the visionary leadership of President Tinubu, whose commitment to youth empowerment and national unity continues to inspire new initiatives in Nigeria's sports sector. The program is expected to reshape sports development in Nigeria over the coming decades, with Shaibu's relentless drive being a key factor in this transformative mission.
