Sports Minister, Barrister Solomon Dalung will on Tuesday inaugurate a new committee for the Nigerian ‘Hospitality’ House Project for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. A 15-man committee  was earlier established by the National Sports Commission director-general Alhassan Yakmut in November last year but it has now been pruned to seven members.

The re-constituted committee has Alhaji Mohammed B. Abdullahi as Chairman and project coordinator while the Nigeria Olympic Committee will be represented by Bappa A. Missau. Other members of the committee include Shamma Makpa, a Sports Officer at the National Sports Commission, Okechukwu Nebo, Head of Chancery, Nigerian Embassy in Brazil and three ministerial nominees, Alhaji  Bala Usman, Tar Ukoh and Mrs Adeshola Ndu.
