The appointment of Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, Senator representing Bauchi South Senatorial District (PDP) as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports has been hailed as a masterstroke, with many describing it as a “round peg in a round hole.” Ningi’s wealth of experience in sports administration, coupled with his passion for youth development, makes him the ideal senator for the job.
As a former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Ningi played a crucial role in Nigeria’s qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His leadership and vision helped to transform the NFA, laying the foundation for Nigeria’s success in international football competitions.
Ningi’s commitment to youth development is also well-documented. As a senator, he has initiated various programs aimed at empowering young people in his constituency and beyond, including job creation initiatives, farming support, and community development projects. His experience in these areas will undoubtedly be an asset in his role as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports.
Key Areas of Focus

Sports Development: Ningi will work to promote sports development in Nigeria, with a focus on grassroots programs and youth empowerment.

Funding and Sponsorship: Ningi will work to secure funding and sponsorship for sports programs in Nigeria, both from government and private sector sources.
A New Era for Nigerian Sport’s Development
Ningi’s appointment as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports marks the beginning of a new era for Nigerian sports development especially as he partners with astute sport administrator, chairman, Nation Sport Commission, Mallam Shehu Dikko who is redefining sport in the Nigeria sport industry.
