President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN), Francis Orbih Esq has been elected as a council member into the Badminton Confederation of Africa (BCA). Orbih was elected during the world congress that took place on Thursday in Kualar Lumpur, Malaysia.

He earlier lost in 2021 when he sought for a two-year tenure. But this time around, he stooped to conquer as he finally bagged a four-year tenure instead of a shorter two year.

He remarked that with his victory,  Nigeria  is back in the boardroom where decisions about the administration of the game of badminton in Africa are taken. ”Nigeria will definitely have more voice in influencing positive decision making”.

Tukebana Michel Bau of Seychelles retained his post as the BCA president. He was returned unopposed. Elected as the Deputy President is Zambia’s Kingsley Mulenga who defeated the incumbent  Amine Zobiri of Algeria.
