Former Director General of the National Sports Commission
(NSC), Mallam Alhassan Yakmut has indicated interest in vying for the
post of President, Nigeria Volleyball Federation, NVBF.
Yakmut became eligible to contest for the position in the
NVBF after winning the Nigeria Association for Physical, Health
Education, Recreation, Sport and Dance (NAPHER–SD) election.
The Bronze Medal at the African Volleyball Clubs’
Championship (Cairo 1987) will be aiming to restore the fortune of
volleyball, following the comatose state experienced in the sport in the
last one decade.
In April 2015, Yakmut was
appointed Director General, National Sports Commission by then President
Goodluck Jonathan, after for the former Director General, Gbenga
Elegbeleye, was removed.
Under Yakmut’s tenure as Director General of the National
Sports Commission, Nigerian sports made great progress, finishing second
at the 2015 African Games in Congo Brazzaville.
Four years earlier in Maputo, Team Nigeria could only place
third behind South Africa and Egypt at the end of the 10th All Africa
Games.
The election comes up on Tuesday, 13th June, 2017.
