President of the Karate Federation of Nigeria (KFN), Hon. Silas Agara, has been elected as the 4th Vice President of the African Karate Federation (UFAK), in what marks a significant boost for Nigeria’s presence in continental sports administration, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Agara clinched the position at the UFAK General Assembly held in Abuja, defeating his Congolese rival, Mr. Freddy Kombo, with a decisive 20–11 vote margin in a highly competitive contest.

The event, attended by karate delegates from across Africa, also featured the President of the World Karate Federation (WKF), Antonio Espinós, highlighting its global significance.

Reacting to his victory, Agara dedicated the achievement to Nigeria and the West African region, emphasizing his commitment to advancing karate development across the continent.

“One’s record should speak for itself. What you have accomplished should be your ticket to office. I simply presented what we’ve achieved in Nigeria and allowed the delegates to decide based on that,” he said.

Agara further pledged to work closely with the Nigeria Sports Commission and other stakeholders to strengthen grassroots karate programs and align them with broader national development goals.
