Olusola Luke, Secretary of the Handball Federation of Nigeria (HFN), has admonished members of the board to close ranks in the interest of the sport rather than pursuing personal interest.

Luke said that the sport could only grow when such a step was taken by members.

“It is high time, the board members come together, and channel our resources towards programmes that will move handball to its rightful place,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.

He added that it would provide the necessary foundation to engage budding talents at the grassroots, in competitions that that would sharpen their skills.

“The success of the federation lies in the hands of the board members, and there has to be collective responsibility on the part of each member.

“We should strive to come up with progressive ideas, instead of engaging in needless criticisms,’’he said.

The secretary called on players to dedicate themselves to their training, and to guard against acts that could disrupt the HFN’s programmes.

“If there is harmony in the federation, it would rub off positively on the all its programmes,’’Luke said.

Luke stressed that in spite of the near state of stagnation; the body had been engaged in spirited moves to attract corporate entities to partner with it in the promotion of its programmes.
