The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development on Tuesday in Abuja said arrangement had been concluded for elections into the boards of 23 national sports federations on Thursday in Abuja.
Chairman of the electoral committee, Peter Nelson, who disclosed this in a statement, said the elections would hold at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
He explained that the committee would only be conducting elections into the 23 sports federations whose constitutions had not been approved by their international bodies.
“The committee is conducting elections into the 23 federations who were yet to have their own constitutions approved by their international bodies.
“These federations’ elections will be conducted using the 2021 Electoral Guidelines approved by the Ministry.
“Ten other federations with their approved constitutions will use these to conduct their own elections,” the electoral committee chairman said.
Nelson who is also the Director, Planning, Monitoring and Information (PMI) in the ministry, said the zonal elections had been successfully completed.
“Elections were successfully conducted at the zonal level and other relevant bodies such as NAWIS, NAPHER, Athletes Representatives, Military and Para-Military in a free and fair manner,” he added.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Thursday elections will produce Presidents, Vice-Presidents and other board members of the various national sports federations.
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, is expected to inaugurate the boards immediately after the elections at the same venue. (NAN)
