Nigeria Shooting Federation Aims for a Stronger 2025 – President
The Nigeria Shooting Federation (NSF) is working tirelessly to make 2025 a breakthrough year for its athletes and officials.
President of the federation, Navy Captain Bamidele Olatunji Ayoade, made this commitment during the NSF board meeting held at the Velodrome, Package A, of the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
According to Captain Ayoade, the federation is determined to elevate shooting as a more recognized and competitive sport in Nigeria.
“We just concluded our board meeting, where we discussed our annual plans, funding strategies, and grassroots development. We are putting measures in place to ensure a successful 2025,” he stated.
He further highlighted the federation’s focus on Olympic qualifiers, athlete training, and capacity-building for coaches and officials.
“We are working towards ensuring our athletes, coaches, and juries receive adequate training to compete at the highest level,” Ayoade added.
Addressing concerns about the sport’s perception, he noted that discussions are ongoing with relevant authorities to promote shooting as a recreational and competitive discipline rather than one associated with negative connotations.
Looking ahead, the NSF president assured stakeholders that several competitions are lined up for Nigerian athletes.
“We have the Late Felix Ogba National Open Championship, the ISF World Cup for Rifle and Pistol, the World Championship, and many other events. I can confidently say that better days are ahead for shooting in Nigeria,” he affirmed.
The board meeting was attended by all NSF board members, led by Captain Ayoade, alongside the federation’s Secretary General, Mrs. Oyindolapo Tinuoso.

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
