He was specially recognised by the President of the International Hockey Federation (FIH), Tayyab Ikram, and the President of the African Hockey Federation, Seif Ahmed, for his immense contributions to the sport’s administration and development in Africa.
The federation described Nkom and Agbo`s achievements as a testament to Nigeria’s growing influence in continental hockey and their unwavering dedication to nurturing the dream of sustained hockey excellence.
