Dr. Brima urged staff to fully support Dr. Abdulai, aiming to elevate the NSA to new heights. He also expressed his gratitude to President Bio for the opportunity to serve the government and the people of Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

President Julius Maada Bio recently appointed Dr. Abdulai, a seasoned lawyer and football administrator, to head the National Sports Authority. Dr. Abdulai brings extensive knowledge, particularly in football administration at all levels, from grassroots to professional leagues.<\/p>\n
