Nigerian Athletes Battle for World Championship Tickets in Benin

The City of Benin, in Edo state, Nigeria will be grounds for Nigerian athletes seeking to participate at this year’s World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary, to fight for their tickets.

It is the second Golden League event organised by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) this year to prepare the country’s hopefuls. The first Golden League held at MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on May 26, produced a spectacular race with Samuel Ogazi emerging the star athlete in the 400m final, in a time of 45.91 seconds.

Since then, a total of 14 athletes have been in the national team camp in Asaba with four coaches putting finishing touches to their baton exchange in readiness for the relay events.

The AFN Golden League in Benin City, which will hold from 14-15th June, 2023, will among other things, give the athletes the chance to try their luck in the relay qualification battle in the 4x100m (male and female), 4x400m (male and female) and the mixed 4×400 relay.

Inspector General of Police Commends National Assembly for Passage of Police Pension Board Bill and Other Police Reforms

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba psc(+), NPM, NEAPS, fdc, CFR has commended the National Assembly for its historic passage of the Police Pension Board Bill and the Nigeria Police Force College, Training School and Institution (Establishment) Bill, on Tuesday 6th June, 2023.

The IGP described the passage of the two critical Bills as a milestone achievement with positive impact that will redefine the act of policing the country, standardize the training capacity of the Force, enhance police productivity and address the reccurring pension related hardship. He stressed that the removal of the Nigeria Police Force from the Contributory Pension Scheme and establishment of NPF Pension Board is a welcome development and will be resourceful in addressing the plight of Police retirees.

While acknowledging the doggedness and resilience of the National Assembly in the passage of these critical bills, the Inspector-General of Police commended the efforts of well-meaning Nigerians for their support and concern towards the passage of the bills which in no time will definitely attract the assent of the President for their full implementation.

The Police Boss equally commended the steadfastness and patience of the retirees on the age-long battle of the pension palaver and assured that all hands are on deck to make the bills a reality.
