Shahid Sajjad Hussain’s recognition and honors for his contributions to promoting sports activities within South Sudan reflect his dedication and impact in this field. His role as a Sports Ambassador for the South Sudan National Olympic Committee (SSNOC) has evidently been instrumental in fostering sporting initiatives and garnering support from key political figures.
In 2022, Mr. Shahid presented a souvenir to the President of the Republic of South Sudan, HE. Salva Kiir Mayardit. This gesture likely symbolized the collaborative efforts between the SSNOC and the government in advancing sports development within the nation. Such recognition from the head of state underscores the significance of Mr. Shahid’s contributions and his positive rapport with top leadership.
Furthermore, being honored twice by the Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan, HE. Rebecca Nyandeng De Mabior, in 2021 and 2022, is a testament to the consistent and impactful role Mr. Shahid has played in promoting sports activities. These honors recognize his ongoing efforts and commitment to advancing sports initiatives that contribute to the nation’s development and well-being.
Receiving accolades from both the President and Vice President of South Sudan highlights the broad recognition and respect that Mr. Shahid commands across political leadership for his contributions to sports promotion and development. Such honors not only acknowledge his individual achievements but also underscore the importance of sports in fostering national unity, health, and pride within South Sudan.
