Nigeria Curling Federation announces Patience Jonathan as Grand Matron

The Nigeria Curling Federation (NCF) has announced the former First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, as the Fedration’s Grand Matron.

The NCF President Daniel Damola said the choice of Mrs Jonathan was well-thought-out and also well-deserving of a woman who has invested her time and other resources to see that Curling as a sport in Nigeria stands out.

According to Mr Damola, the former First Lady is one of the few Nigerians who ensured the country’s historic qualification for the Youth Winter Olympic Games billed for South Korea next year.
