| The NTF President, Engr. Ifedayo Akindoju, is already buzzing over their first ever AGM. |
He said: “According to the agenda, it is to ratify the federation’s constitution. As a technical man, mine is to chart a way to get tournaments; senior and junior, sponsorship, marketing, rebranding and trying to improve on what the last time administration started up..
“The constitution has been a concern, as well as the lack of tournaments both junior, seniors. It is believed that if we have quality tournaments here, it will rub off on the players and we shall get great results when we compete on the circuits.”
