In 1996 we decided to bring Archery to Nigeria; myself – Olatunji Boluji, and Jim Obot – now late, saw the values of Archery as a major Olympic event.
We sent a letter through Grand National Archery of UK to the FITA (now World Archery) seeking for affiliation, and as a result of the letter, in 1997 FITA granted our application with a temporary three years membership affiliation free.
Following that, another meeting was held under the auspices of Mr. B. A. Orodele (NUGA Secretary General) in room 216 of National Institute for Sports (Nisports). At the meeting, Orodele advised us to meet some dignitaries and, that advice led us to meet Major General Ishola Williams (Rtd) to help us establish a Federation and also with expectation to make him (the General) our president. But surprisingly, he declined the proposal and suggested Dr. Niran Adeniji (Ex Badminton President) to preside on the Federation.
