The Nigeria Curling Federation (NCF) has appointed renowned sports communications expert and award-winning sports journalist, Phemmy Adetula, as its Communications Director and a member of the Federation’s Board.
The appointment was approved during the Federation’s board meeting held over the weekend as part of efforts to strengthen its strategic communication, enhance stakeholder engagement, and increase the visibility of curling in Nigeria.
Announcing the appointment, the federation’s President, Damola Daniel, described Adetula as one of Nigeria’s most accomplished sports communication professionals whose experience and reputation will be invaluable to the Federation’s vision.
“The Nigeria Curling Federation is entering a new phase of growth, and effective communication will be central to achieving our ambitions. We needed someone with proven competence, credibility, and an outstanding track record, and Phemmy Adetula perfectly fits that profile,” Damola said.

“This is more than an appointment; it is a responsibility to tell the compelling story of Nigerian curling, showcase our athletes, attract new stakeholders, and position the Federation among the leading sporting institutions in Africa. I look forward to working with the Board to take the sport to even greater heights.”
