Samson Adamu is now the most powerful administrator in African football, confirmed as the substantive General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football, and making history as the first Nigerian to ever hold the role.
CAF has been around for 70 years, and in all that time, no Nigerian had risen to lead its secretariat. Adamu changes that, stepping into one of the most consequential seats in the continental game.
What he does with it will be worth watching closely.
