Dr. Noah Dallaji, President of the African Children’s Talent Discovery Foundation (ACTDF), is set to receive a prestigious award at the upcoming Nigeria-France Sports Award and Gala, scheduled for October 21, 2024, in Paris.
The event, organized by OJB Media Network with support from the Nigerian Embassy in Paris, will honor Dallaji for his outstanding contributions to sports development in Nigeria and across Africa.
Dallaji, recognized for his transformative work through the ACTDF, has been instrumental in discovering and nurturing young talent in sports, education, and innovation across the continent. His dedication to providing opportunities for African youth has garnered widespread recognition, with the organizers praising his “giant strides” in fostering youth development.
This honor places Dr. Dallaji in distinguished company, as previous awardees include former Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki, and the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Hon. Philip Shuaibu, both recognized for their contributions to Nigerian sports and youth development.
The Nigeria-France Sports Award and Gala is an annual event that celebrates individuals and organizations making significant contributions to sports, serving as a bridge between Nigerian and French sports communities. With key figures from both countries expected to attend, the October 21 event promises to be a significant occasion.
As Dallaji prepares to be honored in Paris, this recognition further cements his status as a leading figure in sports development and youth empowerment across Africa.
