The newly elected President of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF),
Ishiaku Tikon has promised to continue the legacy of his predecessor – Wahid
Oshodi in order to lift the fortune of the sport.
The Taraba State-born administrator told NationSport after the National Sports
Federation election in Abuja on Tuesday that he will build on what his predecessor has
done.
“I think what we just need to do it to continue with what my predecessor did
because, in the last four years, table tennis has witnessed a resurgence that has
helped to put Nigeria on the world map. For me, the sport will be more vibrant
just that it has been in the last four years, and with support from the board we
will surely continue to raise the bar for the sport in Africa and the world,”
Tikon said.
He added: “The development of our coaches and umpires will be paramount to my
leadership by attending different coaching courses in Nigeria and outside the
Country and willing umpires will be supported by my administration to attain the
Blue Badge status. Grassroots development programmes will be an utmost concern to
my leadership.”
He, however, pledged to sustain the hosting of the annual ITTF World Tour tagged
“Nigeria Open”
