LAGOS – In a bid to enhance the growth of hockey at the grassroots, the Nigeria Hockey Federation (NHF) on Thursday expressed its commitment to enhance the proficiency of its technical officials.
The Vice-President of the federation, Godswill Megwa, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that arrangements were in progress to organise seminars that would keep officials abreast of developments in the sport.
“We are planning to organise another stretch of seminars that will run for a minimum of three weeks for the technical officials, who will be participating in any competition both here in Nigeria and internationally.

“And also, we are planning a zonal competition for all the hockey teams in the country where we can also raise technical officials from each zone – fresh ones that we are trying to bring into the system.
“So, we are really working hard in that direction here.“
He urged stakeholders in the sport to work closely with the federation to move the sport forward. (NAN) [eap_ad_3]
