Abdiaziz then transitioned to the private sector, working for various companies, including Elcoteq Oy, Enics Oy, and Semantix Tulkki from 1999 to 2007.

He served as the President of the Somalia Sports Press Association from 2005 to 2013 and was the Deputy President of the Somali Basketball Federation (SBF) from 2000 to 2009. His passion for sports continues, as he is currently a member of the Executive Committee of the Somali Olympic Committee (SOC) since 2009.

In addition to his roles within sports and UNASOMALIA, Abdiaziz Godah has been the Director of the Sanitation Department for the Benadir Regional Administration since 2014, where he has worked tirelessly to improve public health and sanitation in the region.
