Musa Nimrod, President of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF) has called on corporate organisations to support the activities of the Federation in 2025.
Nimrod made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said that the Federation needed more sponsors to enhance the development of volleyball and beach volleyball in the country.
The president said that the federation had deliberated on activities lined up for 2025 at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Nimrod said that the major problem affecting the development of the sport in the country was the lack of sponsors.
He commended the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, for sponsoring the 2024 volleyball premier league.
“We want non-government organisations (NGOs) to come and support our activities in 2025. We have been writing to private companies for support every year.
“We also call on philanthropists, rich individuals and lovers of sports to support our 2025 beach volleyball and volleyball activities,” he said.
Nimrod said that the just concluded 2024 volleyball league witnessed the first time two games would be played simultaneously at the indoor hall.
”Nobody believed that we could play competitive games in double court; the court was divided into two, one part for the male and the second for the female.
“The ambiance during the two final matches (male and female) was overwhelming; the hall was full of spectators.
NAN reports that the Confederation of African Volleyball (CAVB), recently appointed Nimrod as the president of the CAVB Beach Volleyball Commission in Casablanca, Morocco. (NAN)
