President Bola Tinubu congratulates HRH (Dr) Al-Hassan Saleh Yakmut, a distinguished sports administrator, Chairman of Plateau United Football Club and District Head of Chanso in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, on his 65th birthday on May 5, 2026.
President Tinubu acknowledges the remarkable journey of the former Director General of the National Sports Commission—from his early days as a professional volleyball player to his roles as a Senior Sports Officer in the Ministry of Sports and as a strategic adviser to successive Ministers of Sports.
“Your contributions as a football administrator, trusted adviser to top sports executives, and a champion of grassroots development have left an indelible mark on sports as a unifying force in the nation.
“Through your guidance, opportunities have been created, talents have been nurtured, and the future of football has been strengthened. Your passion and commitment continue to inspire both on and off the field.
“As you celebrate this milestone, I wish you good health, continued success, and many more years of impactful service and fulfilment,” the President says.
