DG AFN: Sports  Ministry Disowns Pepple; Says He’s An Impostor

The Ministry  of Youth and Sports  Development has alerted the general public, corporate organisations, security agencies  and the world’s athletics governing body to be weary of the activities of one SY Pepple who is parading himself as the Director  General of the Athletics  Federation  of  Nigeria (AFN), The Gazelle News.com reports.
In a disclaimer notice signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Gabriel Aduda, the said Pebble is described as an impostor  for parading himself as DG of the AFN, a nomenclature not recognised by the extant  law setting up sports federations in Nigeria.
According to the statement, “This is to bring to the notice of the sporting public, MDAs  and security agencies the impersonation of the  office of the Secretary General of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) by one  Mr. Pepple SY who claims to be its Director General.
“Nigeria has 38  national sporting federations under the supervision of the Ministry  established under the laws of the Federal  Republic of Nigeria. Each federation is run by its elected board members in accordance  with its constitution without interference from the Ministry.
“In each national sports federation, the President is the head of the federation and presides over its meetings and oversees the implementation of the policies and the directive of the board.
“The General Secretary is the chief administrative and chief accounting officer of the national sports federations. There is no nomenclature as the Director General of the national sports federation. Mr. Pepple SY who is laying fraudulent claim to the Director General of the AFN was never seconded to the Ministry as required by law. He has never worked in any sports federation nor seconded as Secretary General.
“According to the National Sports Federation Code of Governance of 2017, Secretary  General of the Federations must be a civil servant and a graduate of Physical and Health Education, sports administrator or its equivalent before he/ she can be seconded by the Federal Ministry  of Youth and Sports  Development in accordance with the National  sports Federation code of governance 2017 and AFN constitution  of 2017”.
The statement further said, “The sporting public, MDAs, the international agencies and security agencies should note that Mr. Pepple SY is not the Secretary General of the  Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
“Mr. Pepple  SY is an impostor not known to the Ministry of Youth and Sports and by extension the Federal Government of Nigeria   and the statutory extant law setting up the AFN. He is hereby declared persona non grata by the law setting up the Federal Ministry of Youth  and Sports.
“Anybody doing business with him does so at his or her own risk. We are putting the security agencies on notice and specifically  requesting the  Inspector General of Police to immediately invite the said Mr. Pepple for questioning without further delay.”
