SPORTS Nigeria LTD/GTE has announced the participation of the National Sports Commission, NSC, as a partner and co-host for this year’s groundbreaking and highly anticipated The Sports Africa Investment Summit, SAIS, 2024 event. Under the leadership of its newly appointed Chairman, Shehu Dikko, the NSC will play a pivotal role in SAIS 2024, which will take place from November 19th to 20th, 2024, at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
As Special Guest of Honour, 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 signposting the new direction for sports in Nigeria as an economic sector driven by business models.
In addition, Dikko will also serve as a panelist in the “Facilities, Stadiums, and Arenas – The Sports Infrastructure Strategy for Industry Development” and “Accelerating Industrialization through Sports Development and Investments” breakout Sessions of the Summit, in line with the key focus of the Commission to drive sports as an economic contributor delivering social and community impact.
Dikko’s presence reflects the NSC’s commitment to explore 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, decision makers across the entire cross cutting, cross sectoral ecosystem and 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.
The Sports Africa Investment Summit (SAIS) 2024 will take place on November 19th and 20th at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event will commence at 9:00 AM each day.
