The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) wishes to inform all stakeholders and the general public that its Annual General Meeting (AGM), which includes the election of new board members, has been scheduled for September 20, 2025, in Abuja. This process will be conducted in accordance with the approved NCF Constitution.

The announcement was made in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by the NCF’s Public Relations and Business Development Manager, Musa Ehizoje Bodie.

At the last Board Meeting held on August 23, 2025, in Lagos, the NCF Board approved the dates, guidelines, and timelines for the upcoming elections. In line with constitutional provisions, an independent electoral committee has been appointed and approved by the Board. This committee is responsible for overseeing the entire electoral process and announcing the results.

As is customary, the AGM will provide an opportunity for the General Assembly to review and evaluate the Federation’s activities over the past year and to strategize for the year ahead. Following the meeting, elections will be held for the positions of President, Vice President, and Zonal Representatives on the NCF Board.

Ahead of the AGM, elections for the Athletes’ Representative and Technical Representative will be conducted on September 19, 2025, also in Abuja.

In addition, representatives from other constituencies who have already concluded their elections—such as the National Association of Women in Sports (NAWIS) and the Nigeria Association for Physical and Health Education, Recreation, Sports, and Dance (NAPHER-SD)—will form part of the Board and are eligible to vote during the AGM elections.

The NCF looks forward to a successful and transparent election process as it continues to strengthen the governance of cricket in Nigeria.

The countdown to the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT) has officially entered the final month, with just 31 days to go before Africa’s leading women’s team golf championship tees off at the IBB International Golf & Country Club in Abuja.

In a statement signed by the AACT 2026Director of Communication Kayode Adeniyi on Friday in Abuja.

Under the theme “Africa Is Coming to Abuja,” the countdown campaign will spotlight the championship, the participating nations, the players, the host venue and the growing development of women’s golf across the continent.

The 2026 AACT, scheduled for November 2–7, will bring together women’s golfing talent from across Africa for six days of continental competition in Nigeria’s capital.

As preparations continue at the IBB International Golf & Country Club, attention is increasingly turning to Abuja, where the championship will provide a platform for African golfers to compete while also showcasing Nigeria’s hospitality and the country’s growing profile as a destination for major sporting events.

The countdown will feature daily stories, interviews, player and country profiles, tournament facts, behind-the-scenes updates and features on the host venue as the championship draws closer.

The campaign will also highlight the role of the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN), the Local Organising Committee and other stakeholders in preparing for the continental championship.

With just 31 days remaining, anticipation is building across the African golfing community as Abuja prepares to welcome the continent’s leading women golfers.
