 NSC DG Hon. Bukola Olopade pays tribute to late Nigerian Football Legend Christian Chukwu The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Nigerian football icon, Christian “Chairman” Chukwu, describing his passing as a monumental loss to the nation. Chukwu, aged 74, passed away on Saturday after a prolonged illness. Widely revered in Nigerian football history, Chukwu captained the Super Eagles to their historic first Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title in 1980 and later served as the team’s head coach. In an official statement released by the NSC, Hon. Olopade hailed the late footballer as “a true icon, a leader of men, and a national hero.” “Christian Chukwu was not just a footballer; he was a symbol of pride, discipline, and excellence,” Olopade said. “His leadership on and off the field inspired generations, and his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of millions of Nigeria.

PRESIDENT BUHARI APPROVES CRACKDOWN ON SECURITY AGENTS UNDERMINING BORDER DRILL.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

     As part of the Federal Government’s effort to ensure food security and improve local production of goods at competitive prices, President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned ‘OPERATION SWIFT RESPONSE’ as a border drill exercise to checkmate the illegal activities of smugglers across our borders.
The border drill has been hugely successful and has led to the interception and seizure of large quantities of foods, materials, minerals and petroleum resources illegally trafficked across our borders. The President commends the security agencies for a job well done.
He, however, finds it disheartening to learn that 295 smuggled petroleum tankers were released without due authorization on 17th December, 2019 by some security officials charged with the responsibility of protecting our borders.
Sequel to this act, the National Security Adviser (NSA) was directed to set up a Board of Inquiry to investigate the crime, and it was recommended to the President that all officials (civilian or security operatives) found to have connived to undermine government’s efforts should be withdrawn from the border drill and severely sanctioned by their respective organizations.
The President has accepted the recommendations and directed the immediate withdrawal and replacement of all those found culpable. He has also directed that their respective organizations should mete immediate appropriate disciplinary actions to them.
