The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the National Sport Commission, NSC are set to deepen collaboration and partnership towards improved sports development in the country.

Dele Oyewale the commission’s spokesperson disclosed in an official signed statement that the resolution was reached on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 when the Sports Committee of the EFCC, led by its head, Assistant Commander of the EFCC,  ACE ll Halilu Dauda paid a courtesy visit to the NSC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, ahead of the One Service, One Medal Games, OSOM, which is a tournament organized to foster peace, unity and sports development among members of the armed forces, law enforcement agencies and para-military organizations in the country.

Dauda appreciated the strides of the NSC under Dikko’s leadership, noting that the OSOM games will further foster unity for national development.
“I have been following every single story from your Commission and I must confess that you are doing well. I believe that the games will harness talent that will help Nigeria win laurels in international competitions. A lot of Nigerians, living abroad, are doing well in sports. All we need is to train the best locally from the grassroots and we can win any competition,” he said.

In her contribution, EFCC’s Sports Committee Public Relations Officer, ACE ll, Aisha Mohammed observed the need for collaboration and partnership among agencies of government adding that such synergy will go a long way in enhancing robust participation in the games and resources needed to develop local talents.

Dikko, who was delighted with the visit, disclosed that the NSC under his leadership has prioritized talent hunt and development.
“Since my assumption in office, we have focused our attention on the development of athletes. We have a plan to train the younger ones for a period of time. We are focused on going to the grassroots, especially schools, there are so many talents there; we are not waiting for competitions to come before we start preparing because preparation beats talents in sports,” he said.

The games will feature competition in swimming, taekwondo, weightlifting, tug-of-war, beach volleyball, boxing, chess, squash and scrabble. Others are, golf, tennis, shooting, table tennis, football and badminton.
