Nigeria Rugby Football Federation  Kelechukwu Mbagwu, (NRFF), disclosed that the federation would soon change its name to Nigeria Rugby Football Union (NRFU).

Mbagwu revealed to newsmen on Monday in Lagos that the new name would be effective from June following the decision taken at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the federation held in Lagos over the weekend.

 

“In line with the international body’s instruction, NRFF is changing its name to Nigeria Rugby Football Union.”

 

“ The AGM, which is the first after our constitution was approved by the Sports Ministry and the NOC, sat in Lagos at the weekend to approve the new name.

 

“We took the decision to comply with the international body’s directive but it will be effective from June,’’ Mbagwu said.

 

According to the NRRF president, the federation has direct all state affiliates to conduct election into their boards by December.

 

“Other far-reaching decisions were also taken at the AGM.

 

“All the state affiliates are expected to conduct elections into their boards on or before December.

 

“Those states that are ready to have their elections should contact the federation to send delegates to monitor their elections.

 

“However, the states must ensure that all stakeholders are carried along in the process of the election.

 

“A three-member committee was set up to come up with guidelines within three months for the elections,’’ Mbagwu said.

 

Mbagwu also added that AGM had approved Nigeria hosting of the Africa Silver Cup.

 

“ At the level of the board, we accepted to host the Africa Silver Cup tournament.”

 

“The tournament will take place in Lagos in June from June 7 to June 17.”

 

“Although we are the host but we are hosting to win because we have what it takes to win,’’ he said.

 

Rugby Africa Cup 2019 Pool A tournament would see Nigeria play host to Madagascar, Botswana and Ghana.

 

The competition would be an opportunity for the country to increase rugby’s awareness.

 

Cote d’Ivoire would also play host Senegal, Mauritius and Rwanda in Pool B from June 15 to June 23.

 

The winner of Pool A would then meet Pool B winner in a final match to determine the Silver Cup champion.

 

The tournament is continental second tier tournament behind the Gold Cup and the winners would gain promotion to the elite division of Rugby Africa Gold Cup where they stand a chance to earn a slot at the World Cup in the year 2023.
