"At the Sports Commission, we want to ensure that every sport receives the support needed to grow alongside the commission," he stated. "Under the Chairmanship of Mallam Shehu Dikko, the NSC is dedicated to nurturing all sports equally. The performance of these girls at the World Cup is already creating excitement back home, which is a fantastic development for the growth of cricket in Nigeria."


The DG's visit is expected to further energize the team as they continue their historic campaign in Malaysia.
