The Nigeria Taekwondo Federation (NTF) has officially announced the date for its 2026 Para-Taekwondo Seminar as part of activities outlined in its annual calendar. The Federation made this known through the NTF Media, stating that the seminar will be held virtually to enable wider participation across the country.
According to the announcement, three highly respected and experienced referees have been selected as resource persons for the seminar.
Explaining the decision to hold the programme online, the Federation noted that bringing participants from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to a single physical location would be demanding.
As a result, the Board resolved to adopt a virtual platform to ensure accessibility and convenience for all stakeholders.
”As a board, we considered the challenges of assembling participants from across the country in one location. Therefore, we decided to adopt a virtual format that allows more participants to join comfortably and learn the latest rules and laws of the sport,” the statement read.
In line with its mandate to develop all aspects of the sport, the Federation confirmed that Para-Taekwondo is the first focus area for the year.
The seminar will feature Dr. Rasheed Amusa a certified classification officer, Mr. Gambo Ibrahim who is an academy owner and coach for Para-Taekwondo, and a versatile WTF Referee Grand Master Collins Rickson as resource persons.
“”Our goal for the year is to ensure that every aspect of the sport is addressed as captured in our calendar. Starting with Para-Taekwondo, we have assembled seasoned experts who will deliver valuable training,” the statement added”.
The Federation encouraged all stakeholders to participate actively and take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge that will be shared during the seminar.
The Para-Taekwondo Seminar is scheduled to hold on February 16, 2026, via Zoom, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
