Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged newly appointed Confederation of African Football (CAF) General Secretary, Samson Adamu, to use his new position to advance African football while safeguarding Nigeria’s interests within the continent’s football governing body.

Shettima described Adamu’s appointment as a significant achievement for Nigeria and a moment of pride for the country, expressing confidence that his experience and professional background would contribute to the development of football across Africa.

The Vice President expressed optimism that Adamu’s appointment would provide an opportunity for Nigeria to make meaningful contributions to discussions and decisions shaping the future of African football.

He urged him to approach the responsibility with humility, professionalism and a strong sense of duty, noting that his conduct would reflect not only on Nigeria but also on the wider African football community.

Adamu’s appointment is expected to attract attention within Nigerian football circles, given the country’s longstanding involvement in the development of the continental game.
Nigeria has produced several prominent football administrators and players who have contributed to African football’s growth.

Shettima’s remarks underline the Federal Government’s expectation that Adamu will use his position to strengthen Nigeria’s influence while supporting initiatives capable of improving football administration and competitiveness across Africa
