Adamu Elijah has been moved to the Athletics Federation of Nigeria AFN as the new secretary general as part of the reshuffle embarked on by the Sports Ministry.
The former Secretary General of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, Akawo Amaechi has been moved to Planning and Marketing (PMI) department in the ministry of youth and sports.
Some Secretaries of the Sports Federations affected includes; Libata Ahmed Abdullahi (Wrestling), Fabunmi Evelyn (Karate), Umar Lambu (Weightlifting), Abulude Oludayo (Para Powerlifting) and Davies Oludare (Judo)
The Secretaries of Handball Federation of Nigeria, Mohammed Maigidasanma, Nigeria Volleyball Federation, Maikano Adamu and Nigeria Taekwondo Federation, Kabiru Yusuf remained unchanged.
Aclsports.com reported months ago that “There was intense lobbying for federation positions at the ministry. Some of the workers at the headquarters also lobbied for federation jobs”
It was learnt that some of the secretaries were not happy with their positions since the ministry reorganised the federations and made new postings last year.
