Nigeria’s table tennis sensation Edem Offiong has declared that what Nigeria needed is a table tennis league, not a club.
While speaking to the journalists about the 4th edition of the table tennis tournament for children under the ages of 9 to 17, Offiong stated that the league will highly enhance the fortunes of the sports in the country.
” What we have in Nigeria is tennis clubs. We need to have a league. We have many budding players who cannot afford to travel outside to compete.
“Establishment of a National tennis league like what you have in football will help much to bolster Tennis competitions in the country and expose individual players”, she said.
Offiong will be among the tennis players that will represent the country in Paris, France.
