“Football Is in My DNA” – Nasarawa State Attorney General Speaks from Lafia
Barr. Isaac Danladi has reiterated that he remains a football person despite his current role as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Nasarawa State.
Danladi made this known when the former Media Officer of Nigeria’s Flying Eagles, Andrew Randa, alongside Adams Jesse Odoba-Yacham and Richard Akolo Ajegena, paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Lafia on Friday.
Andrew Randa, who led the delegation, used the opportunity to congratulate Danladi on his appointment as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, urging him not to forget his first constituency — the football family.
In response, Barr. Danladi thanked the trio for the visit and emphasized that he remains a critical stakeholder in football, not just in Nasarawa State but across Nigeria.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank God for this great opportunity to be with you again. Despite your busy schedules, we still found time to see one another,” he said.
“I have been a football person all my life, and the fact that I am now in the Ministry of Justice does not mean I am no longer relevant in football.”
“It is in my DNA, and as far as serving humanity is concerned, Nasarawa State comes first before anyone. I will play my role to ensure we promote sports to the highest level,” he concluded.
Barr. Isaac Danladi was once the Chairman of the NPFL Club Owners Association of Nigeria before becoming the Permanent Secretary of the Nasarawa State Ministry of Youth and Sports Development.
He briefly served as the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources before his appointment to the Ministry of Justice, where he currently serves as Commissioner and Attorney General of the state.
