Aisha Falode Appointed as Special Advisor on Communications for Niger Delta Sports Festival

Aisha Falode has been named the Special Advisor on Communications to Dunamis Icon, the project consultant for the Niger Delta Sports Festival (NDSF).

The announcement was made by Itiako Ikpokpo, Lead Consultant and Co-Chairman of the Main Organizing Committee of the festival, who expressed confidence in Falode’s ability to enhance the festival’s value through her extensive media experience with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA).

According to Ikpokpo, “The Niger Delta Sports Festival is not just about sports; it’s about our culture, our people, and primarily, our youth. Bringing Falode on board will significantly boost our strategic communication of these values. Beyond her professional achievements, she is also a proud daughter of one of the Niger Delta states.”

She ticks all the boxes for the role, both in her professional capacity and her extensive media reach. Additionally, she understands the Niger Delta story,” Obi told NDSF Media.
