WAFU-B President Kurt Okraku has introduced new governance reforms to improve transparency, financial management, and accountability in the region.
He announced at the 17th WAFU-B Congress in Niamey, Niger. Okraku emphasized the need for these changes, saying, “We will hire internal auditors to ensure we always follow financial rules and regulations.” This move aims to improve financial integrity and increase trust in the region’s operations.
Okraku also shared plans to set up a fully operational Executive Committee to strengthen governance. He stated, “We will soon launch a complete Executive Committee.”
The WAFU-B President highlighted that these reforms are part of a broader push for good governance, calling on all involved to stay committed. He said, “Let’s continue working together to improve governance, ensure financial management, and protect football’s integrity.”
These reforms are part of a series of initiatives under Okraku’s leadership, which also include eight workshops and five major tournaments scheduled for 2025. These events will focus on areas like anti-doping, safety, and marketing, helping to develop the professional skills of Member Associations.
