Athletics Federation of Nigeria, AFN, said its caretaker committees won’t be constituted.
The Federation in a statement by the Acting Director (FEAD) Dr S. E. Ebhojiaye said following the dissolution of Boards of National Sports Federations by the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development on Friday (30th April, 2021), Caretaker Committees were put in place to oversee the affairs of the Federations, pending the election of new Boards.
The Federation noted that Engr Habu Gumel and Mr Banji Oladapo were inadvertently appointed to serve in the Volleyball and Table Tennis Federations respectively.
The Federation added that Engr Habu Gumel had been substituted with Prof. E.O. Morakinyo in the Volleyball Federation Caretaker Committee, while Mr Banji Oladapo had been substituted with Barrister Oshodi Enitan in the Table Tennis Federation.
The Statement further stated that in consonance with the resolution reached by the Confederation of African Athletics/World Athletics intervention team on the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, AFN, the Caretaker Committee announced for the Athletics Federation of Nigerian was rested and would not be inaugurated.
It said elections into the Board of the federation would follow the road map adopted at the intervention meeting in Abuja last month upon its adoption by World Athletics.
