Two-time African Games bronze medallist, Franca Audu emerged as the Athlete Representative on the board, winning with 25 out of 25 votes cast while Amos Iliya clinched the position of Technical Representative, securing 25 out of 26 votes.

The Zonal representatives elected to the board include: Salisu Mohammed Aliyu (North West); Ado Umar Garko (North East); Damisa Suleiman (North Central); Musa Oshodi (South West); Esudu Lawrence (South East) and Josh Franklin (South South).

In his acceptance speech, Dr Oshodi expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in him and pledged to work even harder to take the sport to new heights.

He promised to come with clear priorities: consolidation, grassroots revival, international competitiveness, and strong institutional partnerships.

He unveiled a bold and forward-looking agenda aimed at consolidating past achievements and elevating the sport to new heights.

Oshodi said, “This second term is not just a continuation, it’s for consolidation and advancement. We will build on the gains we’ve made and push forward with renewed energy and purpose.”

He reaffirmed his commitment to positioning judo as a premier sport in Nigeria, alongside football, athletics, and wrestling.

Oshodi said, “We can’t focus solely on athletes, our coaches and referees are just as important. Coaches train them, and referees represent our federation on the global stage. We must build their technical and mental capacity.”

Oshodi also stressed the critical role of the media in the growth of judo in Nigeria, describing it as “the soul of any business.”

He added that these grassroots initiatives would be consistent and strategic, ensuring sustainability and long-term impact.

Looking ahead, Oshodi outlined the federation’s strategy for international representation, especially with eyes on future Olympic Games.

He emphasised the need for early preparation and close monitoring of elite athletes, many of whom are already training abroad.

“We want to ensure they get access to grants and proper training. Our national coaches will maintain close oversight no matter where these athletes are based,” he added.
