The Management of the Nationwide Sports activities Fee (NSC) has restated its agency dedication to making sure that the 14 acknowledged constituencies are absolutely represented on the boards of all sports activities federations in Nigeria.
This assurance follows consultations with key stakeholders forward of the forthcoming Nationwide Sports activities Federations elections. The NSC emphasised that the democratic construction of sports activities administration in Nigeria is anchored on inclusivity, equity, and transparency, and subsequently, no constituency will likely be disenfranchised within the composition of federation boards.
The Fee reaffirmed that these constituencies are indispensable pillars for the expansion and governance of Nigerian sports activities, and their voices should be heard in decision-making on the highest degree.
These 14(fourteen) constituencies embrace zonal representatives 6(six) from the geopolitical zones of the nation, 1(one) athlete consultant, 1(one) Technical consultant and 1(one) Navy/Paramilitary Consultant
Others Embrace; 1(one) NAWIS consultant, 1(one) NAPHER- SD consultant, 1(one) sponsor and 1(one) AFFAN consultant.
The Director Normal of the NSC, Hon. Bukola Olopade stated “the power of our sports activities Federations lies in illustration. We wish to subsequently make it categorically clear that not one of the 14 constituencies will likely be excluded from collaborating within the governance construction of any federation. Inclusiveness stays non-negotiable.”
The NSC, subsequently, calls on Gymnastics, Judo, and Capturing Federations to get set for October 18, 2025 elections in Abuja.
Whereas Judo and Gymnastics will do their zonal elections earlier than the Nationwide elections, Capturing federation will go on to elect their President and Vice chairman respectively, having already concluded their zonal elections
