File: Players at the camp

Thirty-five young players aged between nine and 19 are undergoing intensive training at the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation-organised national camp ahead of three international tournaments scheduled to take place in Ghana and Guinea later this month.

The camp is being hosted by Babcock University in Ogun State with the full support of the institution’s management, led by its Vice Chancellor, Professor Afolarin Ojewole.

The camp is being supervised by Coach Dotun Omoniyi alongside four other coaches, with 18 girls and 17 boys preparing for the Africa Hopes Week and Challenge, the West African Regional Championships, and the African Youth Championships.

Impressed by the players’ skills and conduct, Prof. Ojewole said the camp aligns with the university’s vision of developing well-rounded students.
