The honour, conferred on him during a courtesy visit by the team, described Hon. Amadu—popularly known as Mai Palace—as the “Pillar of Nigerian Sports”, citing his ongoing efforts in promoting grassroots sports and his passionate commitment as the Chairman of the House Committee on Sports.
Speaking during the visit, the veterans chairman, Mr. Abdul—Kareem, presented a trophy they recently won at the Northwest Veterans Football Tournament held in Kano State, where Zamfara emerged third place.

He said, “Sports remain one of the strongest tools for youth development, peacebuilding, and social cohesion across the country. I will continue to support initiatives that promote these values.”
The Zamfara All Stars comprise retired footballers and veterans who continue to advocate for the development of sports through mentorship and community engagement.
