The Nigeria Curling Federation (NCF) has appointed veteran sports communications expert and award-winning journalist, Phemmy Adetula, as its Communications Director and a member of the Federation’s Board.

The appointment, approved at the Federation’s board meeting held over the weekend, is part of efforts to strengthen its strategic communication, deepen stakeholder engagement and raise the profile of curling across Nigeria and beyond.

Welcoming Adetula to the Board, NCF President, Damola Daniel, described him as one of Nigeria’s accomplished sports communication professionals, whose wealth of experience would contribute significantly to the Federation’s development agenda.

Daniel said the Federation was entering a new phase of growth in which effective communication would be critical to achieving its objectives.
According to him, Adetula’s professional competence, credibility and extensive experience made him a natural fit for the position.

He noted that Adetula’s recognition by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) with the prestigious Veteran Sports Journalist Award during its Diamond Jubilee celebration last year reflected his significant contributions to the development of sports journalism and administration in Nigeria.

Daniel also highlighted Adetula’s experience in sports administration, particularly his previous service as a Board Member and Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), describing the experience as an added advantage to his new role.

“We are delighted to welcome him to our Board and are confident he will play a pivotal role in elevating Nigerian curling to greater national and international prominence,” Daniel said.

In his reaction, Adetula expressed appreciation to the leadership and Board of the Nigeria Curling Federation for the confidence reposed in him, describing the appointment as another opportunity to contribute to the growth of Nigerian sports.

He said his previous experience serving the Judo and Fencing Federations had given him a strong understanding of the role strategic communication plays in building successful and sustainable sports institutions.

“I am deeply honoured by this appointment and sincerely appreciate the confidence of President Damola Daniel and the Board of the Nigeria Curling Federation,” Adetula said.

He pledged to use his experience to tell the story of Nigerian curling, promote its athletes, attract new stakeholders and strengthen the Federation’s visibility locally and internationally.

“This is more than an appointment; it is a responsibility to tell the compelling story of Nigerian curling, showcase our athletes, attract new stakeholders and position the Federation among the leading sporting institutions in Africa,” he added.

Adetula said he looked forward to working with the Board and other stakeholders to take Nigerian curling to greater heights.

The Nigeria Curling Federation is the governing body responsible for the development and administration of Ice Curling, Wheelchair Curling, Floor Curling, Table Curling and Street Curling in Nigeria.
