The President of NAFED, Mohammed Baba Abdullahi, in his congratulatory message on behalf of the Federation, hailed Gumel for his victory at the polls and described his re-election as ANOCA Treasurer-General as a demonstration of the Confidence and trust placed in his leadership by the members of ANOCA drawn mainly from Presidents of various Olympic Movement across the Continent.

Abdullahi described Gumel as a selfless leader whose integrity, transparency and forthrightness speak volumes and are worthy of emulation.

“He is a role model and a very good reference point when it comes to leadership, trust and transparency.
