He emphasized that exposure to high-level tournaments will boost their confidence for future events.

“We are excited about the athletes’ enthusiasm for the world championship. Our efforts are yielding results, and we believe we are on the right track to have our athletes represent Nigeria at the Olympic Games.

This mix of homegrown and foreign-based talent will gain valuable experience for major events. We are still seeking support for the sport, especially as Nigeria is becoming a force in fencing in Sub-Saharan Africa. We aim to sustain this momentum with the Senior African Championships in June and the Commonwealth Championships in 2026,” he said.
