Nigeria has scored a big hit in international table tennis with the appointment of former President of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) and Chairman, WEOAllsports, Wahid Oshodi as the chairman of the ITTF Nomination Committee. The Executive Committee of the world table tennis ruling body in a letter signed by ITTF Secretary General, Raul Calin, named Oshodi, who is a two-time winner of the Administrator of the Year award at the annual Nigerian Sports Award, as the head of the eight-man committee, which is a key standing committee of ITTF. Being the first Nigerian and African to head ITTF Committee, Oshodi’s immense contribution to table tennis in Nigeria and Africa has endeared him to the heart of the world table tennis family. Apart from his administrative acumen, which has taken Nigeria to an enviable position in the continent, Oshodi was the brain behind the annual staging of Africa’s elite table tennis tournament – ITTF Challenge Nigeria Open. He is a good team player and I am so proud of him that he has made Nigeria proud with his conduct at several events in ITTF,” Oladapo said.
