The National Sports Commission (NSC) has officially reaffirmed Dr Chukwudi Dimkpa as the substantive President of the Karate Federation of Nigeria (KFN). The decision comes after the NSC received several requests from the Union of African Karate Federations (UAKF) seeking clarification on the federation’s leadership.

Dr Dimkpa has been at the helm of the KFN for several years, guiding the sport’s development across the country. His appointment by the NSC confirms the commission’s confidence in his leadership and the stability of the federation’s governance.

UAKF’s inquiries prompted the NSC to review the KFN’s status and issue a formal statement confirming Dr Dimkpa’s position. The commission’s clarification was aimed at ensuring transparency and continuity within Nigerian karate administration.

With the NSC’s endorsement, the KFN can now focus on advancing karate at the national level, including athlete development, coaching programmes, and international competition participation.
