President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigeria’s table tennis pacesetter, Aruna Quadri, on winning the International Table Tennis Federation, ITTF, Africa Cup title.
Quadri achieved a resounding victory in the final match of the 2024 ITTF Africa Cup in Rwanda, reclaiming the title and sealing his place as Africa’s table tennis champion.
Reacting, Tinubu commended the table tennis star for his dogged pursuit of excellence “even in the face of gnawing obstacles” while declaring Quadri’s zeal for distinction, the hardiness to succeed, and the inventiveness to solve complex problems as the exceptional qualities that define Nigerians.
A statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser, Chief Ajuri Ngelale added, “The President also notes the recent progress in the nation’s sports sector, with remarkable performances in the African Games, the Africa Cup of Nations, and the World Relay Championships, and emphasizes that his administration will continue to foster the growth and development of sports in the country.
