Posted : 03 March 2026

Francis Orbih has been re-elected as President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria for a third consecutive term.

Orbih emerged unopposed, securing all 13 votes cast, while Adamu Alhaji Lawan emerged as Vice President during the elective congress held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on Monday, March 2.

In his acceptance speech, Orbih congratulated the newly elected board members and expressed confidence in their collective ability to move the sport forward.

He acknowledged the federation’s modest achievements in previous years and emphasised the need to consolidate on existing progress to take Nigerian badminton to greater heights.

Orbih said: "I want to congratulate the entire board members, and I am confident that we are going to deliver.

"There is a lot of work to be done. We have had humble achievements in the past. It is time for us to build on what we have achieved and consolidate to take the Federation to greater heights."

Orbih, who called for unity and collaboration, urged stakeholders to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the federation.

He said: "I am counting on all of you to have your hands on deck because I cannot do it alone. Let us join hands to take the Federation to a level where we'll be the envy of other sporting federations in Nigeria.

"We have work to do. Whatever you can contribute to the growth and development of the Federation."

During the inauguration of the board of BFN, Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, congratulated Francis Orbih on his re-election and having a crisis-free election.

Dikko urged Orbih to consolidate on the gains during his previous tenures and work harder for the next four years.

He said: “I want to congratulate the board members for unanimously re-electing Francis Orbih and having a crisis-free election.

“Orbih has done well and deserves to be re-elected as a member of the African and World body.

“He has taken huge responsibility by presenting himself as President of BFN, and he doesn't have any other choice than to continue his good work.”
