Former Bayelsa State Commissioner for Sports, Opukiri Jones-Ere, has been elected as the new president of the Nigeria Amputee Football Federation.
Speaking yesterday shortly after his election, the sports technocrat expressed gratitude to the leadership of the National Sports Commission (NSC), especially Alhaji Shehu Dikko and Bukola Olopade, for ensuring a level playing field for all candidates and for conducting a peaceful and credible electoral process.
