THE African Cricket Association (ACA) has congratulated the newly elected President of the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF), Emeka Onyeama, on his victory at the polls, just as it commended the outgoing NCF boss, Kwesi Sagoe, for the strides Nigeria made in the game during his tenure.

In a letter addressed to the NCF and signed by ACA Cassim Suleiman, the association said, “on behalf of the Africa Cricket Association in conjunction with the ICC-Africa Regional Office, its management and staff, we would hereby like to congratulate Emeka Onyeama the newly elected President of Nigeria Cricket Federation.

“We wish you a successful term as president of Nigeria Cricket Federation and trust that your expertise and commitment serves beneficial and fruitful for the Development of Cricket in Nigeria. On this note, the ACA-ICC Africa Regional Office in conjunction with its membership would like to assure you of our support and assistance at any given time.”

On Sagoe, it said, “words fall short in thanking you and congratulating you on your successes and endeavors during your term as president of NCF. Your continued effort and contribution towards the growth of the game in Nigeria is certainly appreciated.”
