Shettima Urges CAF's Adamu to Safeguard Nigeria's Interests
Vice-President Kashim Shettima has called on Samson Adamu, the newly appointed General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), to promote and protect Nigeria's interests in his new role. Shettima made this statement on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, emphasizing that Adamu's appointment is a historic achievement as he is the first Nigerian to hold this position since CAF's establishment in 1957.
Shettima conveyed President Bola Tinubu's goodwill and urged Adamu to fulfill his responsibilities diligently. The National Sports Commission (NSC), represented by its Chairman Shehu Dikko, described Adamu's appointment as a major milestone for Nigerian sports administration, highlighting the opportunity for Nigeria to enhance its influence in African football.
NSC Director-General Bukola Olopade expressed confidence in Adamu's experience and pledged support for his success, aligning with the commission's reform agenda to improve Nigerian sports.
