Delay
By Kayode Adebiyi
Abuja, March 6, 2020 (NAN) Adam Mukhtar, Chairman of the FCT Football Association (FA), says the return of the FCT Women’s Football League has been delayed because the FA was trying to make it more competitive.

Mukhtar told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja that the league, which was last staged in 2018, would however kick off very soon with noticeable improvements.

“It is important that there must be a required number of registered clubs before the league can begin. But we are sure that the league will eventually commence very soon.

“We are trying to plan it well because the new FA on board is trying to introduce some improvements, one of which is that we must get the required number of clubs.

“To effectively carry out those improvements, we need an appreciable number of clubs to register for the league before it takes off,” he said.

NAN reports that Mukhtar had previously stated that the FA had to first create a proper structure before the league could return.(NAN)

Abuja, Dec. 20, 2019 (NAN) Chairman of the FCT Football Association (FA), Adam Mukhtar, on Friday in Abuja said inclusiveness and transparency have guided him since he assumed office.

Mukhtar, who spoke at the inauguration of various FCT FA standing committees, said: “Unlike the previous board under which I served, we have made the FCT FA an inclusive association where all stakeholders are carried along.

“We are committed and open to fresh ideas and we have also made the association transparent because it is the only way you can attract investment.”

A total of 13 committees were inaugurated at the event and their members were sworn in by the chairman.

The committees include: Technical and Development (chaired by Abimbola Samuel), Strategic Studies (chaired by Godwin Bamigboye), Protocol and Ceremonies (with Pascal Duru as chairman) and Players’ Status (Patrick Bassey as chairman).

Others are: Referees Committee (chaired by Hashimu Adamu), Youth Development Committee (chaired by Wakili John), Area Councils Football Development Committee, and Ethics and Fair Play Committee (both chaired by Salihu Kolo).

The rest are Security Committee (headed by Daniel Kwoi), Marketing and Sponsorship Committee headed by Noel Anosike, while Women’s Football Committee is chaired by Ngozi Ezeh.

The Organising Committee for FCT FA Competitions is chaired by Musa Garba, while Andrew Abha was sworn in as chairman of Media and Public Relations Committee.

Mike Ndidi and Niyi Busayi are the Media and Public Relations committee’s vice chairman and secretary respectively.

Muktar charged the committees to be steadfast in carrying out their assignments.

“Your tasks are definitely going to be challenging, but I am convinced that you can do the job because you have the passion and competence,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the committees, Victoria Nlemigbo, who is also the vice chairman of Strategic Studies Committee, promised to live up to expectations.

“Our responsibilities have been spelt out and we accept the tasks at hand with humility.

“We are willing and ready to put in our best so that through our support and effort the FCT FA will become the envy of other football associations,” she said.(NAN)
