Paravolley President refutes claim of West Africa Development Commission appointment


‎The President of the Nigeria Paravolley Federation, Kayode Ladele, has dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that Paravolley Africa has appointed Jackson Imandi as President of a so-called West Africa Development Commission.

‎Ladele stated that the Nigeria Paravolley Federation categorically rejects the claim, noting that the purported “West Africa Development Commission” is unknown within the West African Paravolley sphere.

‎“At no time was the establishment of such a body discussed with member countries in the region, nor were its objectives, structure, or operational framework presented for consideration,” he said.

‎According to the federation president, the Nigeria Paravolley Federation was neither consulted nor formally notified before or after the alleged announcement. He added that the federation has received no correspondence from Paravolley Africa regarding the commission’s creation or the purported appointment.

‎Ladele described it as deeply concerning that any decision affecting West Africa would be announced without proper engagement with the relevant national federations, particularly the appointee’s home federation.

‎“How can Robinson Tumwesigye from Uganda unilaterally make an appointment for West Africa without consulting the national federation of the country from which the appointee originates?” he queried.

‎He emphasised that such a process is inconsistent with established principles and codes guiding sports administration in Nigeria and is therefore unacceptable. The federation urged stakeholders and the general public to disregard the reports until an official and properly communicated position is established.
