Nigeria’s National Sports Commission to co-host Sports Africa Investment Summit

Date:

Sport Nigeria has announced the participation of the National Sports Commission (NSC) as a partner and co-host for this year’s Sports Africa Investment Summit (SAIS) 2024. Under the leadership of its newly appointed chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, the NSC will play a pivotal role in SAIS 2024, which will take place from 19th to 20th November 2024 at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

As the guest of honour, Mallam Shehu Dikko will deliver the agenda-setting keynote address on the event’s opening day, setting the tone for meaningful dialogues on advancing sports as a powerful economic and social force in Nigeria and Africa, and outlining the new direction for sports in Nigeria as an economic sector driven by business models.

In addition, Mallam Dikko will also serve as a panellist in the breakout sessions “Facilities, Stadiums, and Arenas – The Sports Infrastructure Strategy for Industry Development” and “Accelerating Industrialisation through Sports Development and Investments”, in line with the key focus of the commission to drive sports as an economic contributor delivering social and community impact.

Mallam Dikko’s presence reflects the NSC’s commitment to exploring public-private partnerships that can assist in repositioning sports from its purely participatory focus into a critical platform for sustainable development and economic growth in Nigeria and across the continent of Africa.

Themed Unleashing Africa’s Potential: Investing in Sports Infrastructure for a Sustainable Future, SAIS 2024 will gather a diverse audience of policymakers, investors, and decision-makers from across the entire cross-cutting, cross-sectoral ecosystem, as well as sports industry professionals, to explore transformative strategies and partnerships. By leveraging sports as a driver of sustainable development, SAIS aims to unlock significant social and economic benefits through investment across Africa’s sports infrastructure value chain.
