Badminton: Nigerian team issued Egyptian visas after delay

The Nigerian contingent set to represent the country at the 2020 All Africa Men’s and Women’s Team Badminton Championships in Egypt have finally been given visas by the Egyptian Embassy after an initial delay.

President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria, Francis Orbih, said the players and officials got their visas Tuesday evening.

He however said the embassy denied the vice president and two umpires who were officially invited by the African body for officiating and certification.

Some people who were part of the contingent had withdrawn and dropped out because of all the stress.

The Nigerian team, who are the No.1 team in Africa, have already missed out of the team event, which started on Monday because of the visa issues.

They will however be able to feature in the singles event, which starts on Friday.

The team event serves as the qualifiers for the men and women’s team event of the Thomas and Uber Cup billed to hold in Denmark between May 16 and 24, while the singles event serves as qualifiers for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Northern Coalition For Peace And Development Asks The Federal Government To End Banditry.

The Northern Coalition for Peace and Development, has asked the Federal Government to initiate talks with bandits towards ending banditry and other crimes across the country.

He also asked the Federal Government to emulate the governments of Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto states that doused tension in the state by holding talks with bandits.

 

Attahiru Adamu said majority of those calling for the sack of service chiefs are not sincere as they fail to offer reasonable alternative before now to the President on how to tackle issues of security.
