The National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ) and the Commonwealth Games Association of Zambia (CGAZ) have held a joint induction and orientation session for its new members at the Olympic Youth Development Centre (OYDC) Zambia - Sports Development Centre.

It included NOCZ Board, OYDC Zambia Board and Commission members.

This was led by NOCZ President Alfred Foloko with Board representatives also in attendance.

Foloko said the participation in the workshop shows responsibility and leadership by looking to learn more about the NOCZ's strategic plan.

"This induction is a vital tool as it is key to achieving the NOCZ 2022-2025 strategic plan objectives, therefore, in all the discussions and deliberations we are going to have, we should be very clear about our mission and our responsibility to stress the importance of good governance in sport and to disseminate and promote our values," said Foloko in his speech.
