Idris AdesinaNigeria Wrestling Federation president Daniel Igali has been elected as one of the three vice-presidents of the Commonwealth Wrestling Board after polling 19 out of 22 votes. The election held at the General Assembly of the board at the just-concluded Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. Canada Wrestling Federation president Don Ryan was elected president of the board while South Africa wrestling boss Sakkie Bosse and Australia’s John Saul will join Igali as vice-presidents on the board. Their regime is expected to improve the board’s outreach and increase its efforts for the promotion and the development of wrestling within the Commonwealth. The NWF last month received a similar invitation from the United States Wrestling Federation to participate in the Beat The Streets Competition in New York in May.
