Coalition of Civil Societies for Peace and Good Governance has appealed to faceless groups to stay away from the management of the Niger Delta Power Holdings Company, NDPHC, or face the wrath of Nigeria security agencies.

This followed criticisms over the appointment of Engr. Jenifer Adighije as the managing director of the federal government electricity company by some groups.

Reacting to such criticisms, the Coalition of Civil Societies for Peace and Good Governance urged Nigerians to see Mrs Adighije’s appointment as an answered call for gender integration in governance in Nigeria in a critical sector that is very important to national development.

A statement sign by the national secretary of the coalition, Blessing Allie, however urged the newly appointed executives of the company to put in their best to ensure additional values to the nation’s economy through the power company.

“We appeal to the newly appointed executive members to unite towards adding value to the economy.

“We are aware of the credible credentials of the managing director both nationally and internationally, hence enemies of national development should search for another agency.

“Finally, we appeal to Nigeria civil societies to engage themselves in productive ventures capable of adding value to themselves and Nigeria as a whole,” the statement said.

Team Nigeria’s boxing contingent has officially departs the shores of the country for Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ahead of the 6th edition of the Islamic Solidarity Games, taking place from November 7 to 21, 2025.

The team forms a vital part of Nigeria’s contingent at the multi-sport event, which gathers athletes from across over 55 nations globally. Nigeria’s participation reflects the nation’s commitment to expanding its global sporting profile and using sport as a tool for unity, national pride, and youth development.

Chief de Mission, Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, described the Riyadh Games as a “crucial aspect of Nigeria’s strategic sports development plan,” emphasizing that the event serves as both a test of preparation and a pathway toward greater international success, including at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

He reaffirmed the NSC’s commitment to ensuring that Nigerian athletes receive the necessary support to excel on global platforms.

“This is more than just another international competition; it is a vital stepping-stone for our athletes toward Olympian ambitions,” Hon. Bukola Olopade said ahead of the team’s departure.

“Our team is prepared, focused, and hungry for success. We carry the hopes of the nation with us to Riyadh,” Hon. Olopade added.
Nigeria has maintained a strong presence at the Games since the inaugural edition in 2005. Over the years, the country’s athletes have recorded success across various sporting categories.

The contingent is led by experienced coaches and supported by technical staff dedicated to achieving peak performance levels.

As the competition gets set to begin in Riyadh, all eyes will be on the Nigerian contingent to deliver a performance that reinforces the country’s reputation as one of Africa’s leading sporting nations.
