Musa Ehizoje, the Federation’s Public Relations Officer
(PRO), disclosed in a statement on Sunday that the Kenyan has a two-year
contract and would oversee the senior men’s team.
“Following the re-structuring of the coaching department in
the Federation, Tikolo will head the senior men’s team and he will be assisted
by our national coach Uthe Ogbimi.
”Other coaching structures will remain the same however.
“Tikolo’s initial contract will run for two years, with his
first opportunity to meet with the senior team players being when they resume
camp for the T20 World Cup Africa Sub Regional Qualifier in November,” Ehizoje
said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tikolo’s
appointment followed the resignation of Sri Lankan Asanka Gurusinha as Head
Coach in April 2022 due to heath concerns.
