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.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
