Nyoni was elected over the weekend, following the zoom meeting attended by leaders of member countries.<\/p>\n

Confirming to the \u2018Daily News\u2019 after the meeting, Nyoni expressed his readiness to work for the continent. \u201cIt is an honour for me and my country and I\u2019m ready to take this big responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nyoni stressed: \u201cI have welcomed the new responsibility, there are many plans in pipeline, first is to develop Kabaddi in Africa by attracting young people from schools and out of schools. We also target to have more women taking part in the game.<\/p>\n

He also said that the other responsibility will be to popularize the sport in the continent and make it recognizable like any other sports disciplines.<\/p>\n

Nyoni added that organising various clubs competitions, zonal Kabaddi championship and African championship will remain his priority.<\/p>\n
