Nigeria recorded its best-ever outing at the African Archery Championships, returning home with seven medals — one gold, five silver and one bronze at the just concluded 15th edition of the continental competition in Oran, Algeria.
The medal haul was highlighted by a historic gold medal in the barebow women’s team event, while Nigerian archers also reached the podium in both the barebow and compound categories, underlining the country’s growing status in African archery.
The championships, held from 21 to 26 July, featured 138 archers from 18 countries competing under the auspices of World Archery Africa (WAAf).
