The federation’s President, Olufemi Ajagbe, told newsmen in Lagos that the essence of the biometrics, was to avoid needless controversies.
``We are working on the data base of our players because all the players that will be competing in the festival will have their database with us.
``If any state is fielding ineligible players, we will be able to check them. We want to ensure that this festival helps us to be able to reach out to the grassroots,’’ the president said.
Ajagbe, who is also the Vice-President of the Squash Federation of Africa, explained that as part of the federation's preparations for the 18th NSF, the federation is organising a clinic for its technical officials.
He said that the clinic would help to keep the officials to keep abreast of developments in the sport.
According to reports, the federation has scheduled an international training clinic for its technical officials in Calabar from Nov.15 to Nov.18.
``The clinic is meant to acquaint our technical officials and coaches with current trends in the sport.
``Especially those that will be officiating at the festival, to ensure hitch-free officiating at the two-week fiesta,’’ Ajagbe added.
