Swimming Federation President, Dunkwu Passes On

Posted : 07 March 2026

Nigeria’s sports community has been thrown into deep mourning following the passing of Chamberlain Nnamdi Dunkwu, the President of the Nigeria Aquatics Federation (NAqF).

The announcement about the death of Dunkwu, a former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria, was made by the Secretary General of NAqF, Taiwo Oriss.

Oriss described Dunkwu as a passionate advocate for aquatic sports development, who was known for his tireless commitment to nurturing young talents and repositioning swimming and other water sports in Nigeria.

His leadership brought renewed energy to the federation, with initiatives aimed at grassroots development, athlete support, and stronger institutional partnerships.

Beyond the pool, Dunkwu was respected in governance circles for his service at the National Assembly, where he worked closely within the leadership structure of the House of Representatives.

He contributed to the administrative coordination and legislative operations, as colleagues, athletes, and stakeholders in the sports sector have begun paying tribute **to** him.

``His passing leaves a significant void within the Aquatics Federation and the broader Nigerian sporting community, where he was seen as a driving force behind efforts to elevate aquatic sports to new heights,'' he said.

Oriss added that further details surrounding Dunkwu's passing and funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the federation and family in due course.

``His legacy in Nigerian sports and public service will long be remembered,’' he said in his tribute.
