The Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) has set the date for its elective congress that will see the election of a new board.
A new executive committee for the Nigeria Olympics Committee (NOC) will be elected in Jalingo, Taraba State on December 15, 2022.
This was part of the resolution of the NOC after it’s meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, where the new NOC Board of Trustees was inaugurated at the Liaison Office.
All delegates are expected to arrive at Jalingo on December 14 while departure is slated for the next day.
The NOC President, Engineer Habu Ahmed Gumel urged the newly inaugurated members to act in a manner that will assist the NOC in achieving its set goals and objectives. Gumel added that the NOC had put in place the process of appointing the Trustees but due to a knotty issue that has now been resolved with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) before final approval was granted.
Gumel urged the Trustees to comply with NOC’s relevant laws, rules and regulation in the country as well as the Olympic charter.
Also, the Trustees, among many other duties, are to guide the NOC in making prudent and revenue generating investments and equally uphold high standards in protecting the assets of the committee.
In a press release signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Olympic Committee, Phemmy Adetula, the seven inaugurated Trustees members are, Ambassador Haruna Garba, Hon. Ayo Omidiran, Dr. Lanre Glover, Mr. Jackson Bidel, Hon. Lumumba Dah Adeh, Mr. Suleiyman Mu’azu and Mr. Obi Asika.
