In what turned out to be a day of rich reflections and forward-looking ideas, the Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Mallam Shehu Dikko, welcomed veteran broadcaster and former Team Nigeria captain, Alhaji Hameed Adio, to his Abuja office on Tuesday.
The meeting, which began as a simple courtesy call, evolved into an engaging exchange of insights on Nigeria’s sports development agenda. Known for his encyclopedic knowledge of Nigerian sports, Alhaji Adio described the visit as enlightening, noting that it opened his eyes to the bold and transformative projects currently being pursued by the NSC.
At the heart of their discussions was the Renewed Hope Initiative for the Nigerian Sports Economy (RHINSE), a visionary framework under the Tinubu administration designed to reposition sports as a strategic contributor to national development and economic empowerment.

Alhaji Adio, fondly known as the “Golden Voice” of Nigerian sportscasting, later shared his reflections:
> “Earlier today, I was on a friendly visit to Nigeria’s Number One Sports Administrator, the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, NSC, Mallam Shehu Dikko in his Abuja office. What was initially meant to be a courtesy visit turned out to be that of a cross-fertilization of ideas during which he reeled out the giant strides and objectives of the Tinubu administration in Nigeria’s holistic sports development. Look out for the details, it’s going to be a thriller. To God be the glory.”

Mallam Dikko, who has been a strong advocate of building a robust sports economy, reiterated the Commission’s commitment to aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s shared prosperity vision through impactful projects that create jobs, empower youth, and harness Nigeria’s sporting talents.
