“We pray that the Almighty God will grant you the wisdom and wherewithal to discharge your duties effectively and efficiently.
“While wishing you God’s abundant grace and guidance, please accept the highest assurances of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation.”
Daily Sports leant that the NWF Board is also planning to formally pay a courtesy call on Gov. Uzodinma to properly felicitate with him in the new office.
During Uzodinma’s reign as president of the NWF, Nigeria continued her dominance in wrestling, triumphing in the continental competitions she took part in.
