January 08, (THEWILL) – The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has announced that its annual general congress, which was previously scheduled to take place later this month in Bauchi, will now be held in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State.
This is the second shift in the scheduling for the Congress as it was originally slated to be held in Asaba, Delta State, during the 21st National Sports Festival in December, but was later moved to Bauchi.
In a letter dated January 5, 2023, the AFN’s Secretary General, Rita Mosindi, informed state athletics associations that the congress will take place a week later than originally planned on Saturday, January 21, 2023.
She wrote: “I am directed to inform you that the postponed Athletics Federation of Nigeria Annual General Congress earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday, January 21st, 2023, in Bauchi, has been rescheduled to hold in Jalingo, Taraba State.”
According to the letter, accommodation and transport subsidies will be provided for Congress members, including Chairmen of the 36 state athletics associations and Abuja or their secretaries.
The Congress is expected to be chaired by AFN President, Tonobok Okowa, and will involve the approval of the federation’s program of activities for the 2023 athletics season, as well as a review of Okowa’s stewardship over the past year.
