Sheriff Hammed Leads Reforms in Nigeria Judo Federation
Sheriff Hammed, the head of the Caretaker Committee of the Nigeria Judo Federation, has pledged to restore confidence among stakeholders in Nigerian Judo. This commitment follows the establishment of a six-member committee approved by the National Sports Commission, led by Director-General Bukola Olopade, after the International Judo Federation dissolved the federation’s board.
The committee, which includes members Ekuta Ewa, Sule Musa, Bashir Musa Bassey, Oladipupo Idowu, and Secretary Amayo Ngozi, will serve as a transitional body until new elections are held. Hammed expressed gratitude to the National Sports Commission for addressing the federation's prolonged leadership crisis and emphasized the importance of following due process and engaging stakeholders.
The committee is tasked with amending the federation’s constitution, convening an Annual General Meeting, and organizing elections. Hammed noted that the challenges faced by Judo are not unique, as other sports in Nigeria also struggle with governance issues.
He aims to reform Judo, restore confidence, and develop athletes and officials.
