The
nominations for the 2017 edition of the prestigious Nigerian Sports Award (NSA)
are now open for Nigerians to nominate individuals and teams who have

the award, Sportinglens.blogspot.com can reveal.
Addressing sports
journalist in Lagos today, Chairman of the Award Committee, Mr. Kweku
Tandoh, said the nomination started on Tuesday, August 15.
The award
ceremony comes up on November 17, 2017 at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island.
The member of
the public can nominate their preferred athletes through website www.nigeriansportsaward.com/nominations, social media (facebook, twitter; @ngrsportsaward(#NSA2017), instagram, youtube) and manual forms.
Mr Tandoh
while unveiling plans for the 2017 edition explained that the committee
will focus on five key areas.
According to
him, the committee would increase the visibility of the award by giving it a
wider recognition across the country.
He also said
the NSA will improve on the content of the award and the sponsorship.
Tandoh
stated further the committee will introduce a charity initiative where recipients of
the award would give back to the society as a form of Corporate Social Responsibility.
The former
Director of Sports, Lagos State and General Secretary of the Main Organizing
Committee of the Eko 2012, National Sports Festival said the committee will
work on the re-categorization of the award by remove or add to the categories of the award.
“The new committee
is ready to build on the achievement of the past panel. I believe NSA is an
award that has received wider recognition and we will try our best to improve
on it. All men and women as well as teams that have distinguished themselves
in the year in review would be duly recognized. And I want to urge the public
to nominate because that is the first thing to be done before an athlete can be recognized
for the award,” Tandoh said.
