NBF Refutes Call for Emergency Board Meeting in Abuja

The Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) has urged members of the public and the sports media to disregard any call for an emergency meeting of its board members in Abuja.  

The disclaimer became necessary following a false claim of an emergency (NBF) board meeting in Abuja by some media outlets.  

In reference to the “Malicious and Misleading” publication the Chairman of the (NBF) Ethics and Disciplinary Committee, Prof. Musa Yakasai, urged members of the public to disregard any information concerning the federation that did not emanate from the official (NBF) communication channel. 

“The ethics and disciplinary committee has already taken steps to address this falsehood. These selfish individuals have resolved to stop the ongoing reforms initiated by the current NBF board. Hence, the malicious and misleading information they are pushing to the public,” observed Prof. Yakasai.

The NBF General Secretary, Vivian Azimene, also condemned the move by some unscrupulous elements spreading falsehood to destabilise the very efficient operational system of our federation.

“We are not distracted by the activities of these dimwits. Notice of board meetings are not circulated via media publications. As a federation we have our official communication channel where memos are shared with the board members in the case of a meetings. So, I will urge members of the public most importantly the media to reach to the federation before entertaining any story that’s not an official release from the NBF,” Vivian added.
