The newly inaugurated Award Panel Chairman for the Nigerian Sports Award, Dr. Kweku Tandoh, has pledged to take the Award to the next level as one of the most revered awards for sports, not only in Nigeria but also in Africa and the rest of the world.
Dr. Tandoh stated this while unfolding the plans of the newly constituted panel to reposition and advance the vision and mission of Nigerian Sports Award. “After five successful editions, the Nigerian Sports Award has evolved into a brand, it has come to stay as Nigeria’s only award for all sports and not an award for a particular sport” he said.
He revealed that part of the immediate task for the panel is to improve the visibility of the brand as well as engagement with stakeholders in the Nigeria sporting industry while also attracting more corporate sponsorships and partnerships for the award.
Tandoh also disclosed that the new panel would strive to increase the numbers of awards gradually to cover the full spectrum of the sporting activities and also partner with the awardees to embark on charitable causes that will bring about sports development in Nigeria.
While commending the organizers of the award and the past award panel for successfully piloting the affairs of the award for the past 5 years, he promised to improve on the content and the quality of the award night, in line with international best practice.
