President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reconstitution of the Membership of the Governing council of the National Anti-Doping Committee (NADC), to drive its administration for the next four years.
Director of Press and Public Relations Mohammed Manga in a statement indicated that the reconstitution of the board was happening following the expiration of the four year tenure of the out gone members on January 8, 2022.
He said President Buhari gave the approval with a view to ensuring that Nigeria’s sports remain drug free and that Nigeria maintains a clean international record in the war against drug abuse.
