Amputee Football Federation Laments Dearth Of Sponsors
The President of Nigeria
Amputee Football Federation (NAFF), Abibat Ladidi lamented the poor response of potential sponsors to the body proposals.
Ladidi told Tidesports that the body’s programme of activities for the quarter had not attracted the expected response.
She noted that as a result of the problem, the federation set up a marketing committee, saddled with the responsibility of getting individual and corporate bodies to sponsor its activities.
According to her, effort made by the committee to get the attention of enthusiasts has not yielded positive results.
“The situation of our sport is really pathetic because we have not been able to hold a single programme since this year even with activities lined out in our annual schedule.
“Instead of depending on the Ministry of Youth and Sports for support, we set up a marketing committee to market the sport so as to attract sponsorship.
“Unfortunately, promises from some companies and individuals are not forthcoming, hence, affecting our activities,’’ she said.
The NAFF president appealed to all fans for sponsor of its activities.
