In a statement issued on Sunday, Israel praised CAF for recognizing Adamu’s competence and proven track record, noting that his role in successfully coordinating major international events including the World Beach Soccer and Copa Beach Volleyball initiatives in Lagos, clearly demonstrates his ability to deliver at the highest level.
He stated that the appointment reinforces the growing recognition of Nigerian youth as capable leaders who can excel on the global stage when given the opportunity.
“This appointment is a clear validation of what we have always advocated as the APC Youth Wing that young Nigerians are capable of achieving extraordinary feats across all sectors. What many once thought impossible for a young Nigerian has now become a reality through proven performance,” Israel said.
He added that the development aligns with the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which emphasizes youth inclusion, empowerment, and the elevation of competent Nigerians into strategic leadership positions.
Israel, who also serves as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, further noted that CAF’s decision should inspire institutions across Africa to continue entrusting young professionals with responsibilities that shape the continent’s future.
He concluded by congratulating Adamu on his well-deserved appointment and expressed confidence that he will bring excellence and distinction to the role, while leveraging his experience from leading initiatives such as the Copa Coca Beach Volleyball project—once again demonstrating that young Nigerians can make a meaningful impact on the global stage.
