The NTTF boss reaffirmed the federation’s commitment to producing future world champions.
Nigeria’s highest-ranked table tennis player, Quadri Aruna, has exited the World Table Tennis Men’s finals in Doha.
Aruna will face Mohamed El-Beiali of Egypt at the Moi International Sports Centre on Saturday for a place in the finals of the event.
Quadri Aruna has qualified for the WTT Cup finals in Xinxiang, China, thanks to the outcome of the game between Germany’s Timo Boll and Taiwan’s Lin Yun-ju.
On Saturday morning, Team Nigeria increased their gold medal as five athletes got to the podium, finishing top.
After a sluggish start at NEC Hall 3 on Sunday, an inspired Nigerian side, led by Quadri Aruna, bounced back to defeat Malaysia 3-2, booking a semi-final spot.
Unlike his Chinese opponent, who had the technical support of his coach, Quadri had no technical support in his corner.
The beneficiaries said the gesture would motivate them to win laurels for the country.
