NSF pays courtesy visit to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Yesterday, Thursday July 11th, 2024, a representative of Nigeria Squash Federation (NSF) made of the President, Engr Boye Oyerinde, Vice President, CSP Yakubu Mailafiya, Technical Director, Jonah Attah, Secretary, Mrs Monica Otumala, Media Officer, Uchenna Uba paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in his office at the Defence Headquarters. 

 

We were given a wonderful reception with all the CDS military Directors in attendance for the meeting. 

 

NSF team was in CDS office to solicit for two major issues:

 

1.  Revival of CDS Annual Squash tournament which will include a PSA men and women tournament, and the juniors categories. 

 

The CDS and his team expressed their interest in partnering with NSF to make the tournament a reality. 

 

He also promised to setup a committee that will interface with NSF on the tournament. 

 

2.  NSF also pleaded with the CDS to grant NSF access to their squash courts in the barracks across the country and in return, NSF will send a training team that will train their officers and kids in their barracks. The CDS promised to look into that and asked the Sports Director to liaise with NSF to come up with a proposal on how to make that work.

 

The Director of Sports also informed us of the upcoming African Armed Forces Games which will be held in Abuja sometime later in the year, and asked us to work with them to provide them with the necessary technical support to make the games the biggest held so far and a big success.

 

NSF President promised to provide them with every technical support that NSF can provide.

 

The meeting ended with the CDS presenting NSF President with a visitor's plague, while NSF President presented the CDS with a Racket, NSF World Team Tshirt and Shorts, and a packet of Squash balls.

 

Then we had a picture sessions.
