Edo dissolves Sports Association boards

Posted : 13 January 2025

The Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission (ESSC), Amadin Desmond Enabulele, has dissolved all Sports Association Boards except the Football Association.


The Edo Sports Commission's boss announced the dissolution of the affected boards during a meeting with the associations' chairmen at the Media Center, Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.


Enabulele commended the chairmen and their members for their contributions so far and requested that the group elect a representative among them to serve on the Sports Commission Board, as stipulated in the statute establishing the Edo State Sports Commission.


He informed the associations' chairmen and secretaries that the Sports Commission, under his leadership, is eager to make an impact in pursuing the agenda for rapid development set by Governor Okpebhole's administration.


According to him, those who have been effective among the chairmen will be considered for reappointment to continue their good work, while those who performed below expectations will be replaced.


“We decided to dissolve the existing boards of various sports associations we met, except for the Edo Football Association, which, statutorily, we cannot dissolve.


“Our decision to dissolve the affected Sports Associations is not political but stems from our genuine desire to have effective and result-oriented board chairmen who can deliver.


“Some of them are not even in the country and are not in touch with their associations.


“We actually need men and women committed to sports development to be our chairmen.


“We have discovered that some of our former chairmen were far removed from the associations they represented. It can't be business as usual.


“However, we have considered that those who have been effective should return as chairmen, while the poorly performing ones will be replaced. We want the best for ourselves.


“We hope to reconstitute new boards with chairmen within a week, and those coming in must be experienced sportsmen with the passion and drive to attract sponsorships and support for the associations to succeed,” Enabulele emphasized.


Meanwhile, Barr. Walter Imodemhen, Chairman of the Edo Hockey Association, has been elected as the Sports Associations' representative on the Edo State Sports Commission Executive Board.


He was returned unopposed during the process before the dissolution of the boards.


Walter's election to the Commission Board is an indication that he will return as the Hockey Association Chairman.
