The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) has congratulated Habu Gumel on his re-election as president of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC).
This is contained in a statement on Monday by NOC spokesman Tony Nezianya.
He said the association stated this in a congratulatory message dated December 22, signed by Robin Mitchell and Gunilla Linberg, the body’s president and secretary-general Lausanne, respectively.
The statement quoted ANOCA as extending its warmest congratulations to Gumel on his re-election as president of the NOC.
“We already look forward to working closely with you not only as NOC President but also as a member of the ANOC Executive Council for the promotion and development of the Olympics,” said the statement. “We wish you a happy New Year and all the best for the year 2023.”
Mr Gumel was re-elected alongside other officers on December 15 at the NOC delegate conference held in Jalingo, Taraba.
