Moshood Abiola National Stadium Abuja Velodrome to host Teqball World Championship Qualifier
The 2023 National Teqball Championship slated for Kwara State from September 16th to 24th, 2023 has been rescheduled for Velodrome, Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja from 21st to 24th September 2023 after the Executive Board of the Nigeria Teqball Federation withdrew the hosting right from Kwara State Teqball Association.
The decision to withdraw the hosting right from the Association on the eve of the championship became imperative based on evidence of lack of capacity demonstrated by the Kwara State Teqball Association as a result of the lack of support from the Kwara State Sports Commission by extension as project partners.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary of the Federation Mr. Ndudi Edede on Tuesday 12th September 2023, the secretariat had to intervene to take back the championship in her bid to protect the image and reputation of the Nigeria Teqball Federation, (NIGTEQ) as well as Teqball as the fastest growing sports globally.
The event will serve as the qualifier for the 2023 Teqball World Championship slated to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from November 29th to December 03, 2023.
“Returning the event to Abuja will give our major partners like the Embassy of Hungary in Abuja, the Ministry of Sports Development and Corporate bodies the opportunity to witness the development and progress of Teqball in Nigeria” he stated.
Mr. Ndudi added, “We hope to improve on our last outing in Asaba, Delta State earlier in the year and the performance of our Athletes during the 2nd African Beach Games in Hamammet, Tunisia”.
Athletes, Coaches, and Referees are expected to arrive in Abuja on Wednesday 20th September 2023 at the National Institute of Sports Hostel facilities at Package B of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Abuja.

CLTC DG Reaffirms FG’s Dedication to Nurturing Innovative, Productive Nigerian Youth
By Joel Ajayi
The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.
She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.
“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.
Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.
“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.
Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.
She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
