President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Wahid Enitan Oshodi on his election as President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF). Oshodi’s election on Tuesday, October 15, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, marks a proud moment for Nigeria.

As the Deputy President of ATTF and former Lagos state commissioner for Youth, Sports and Social Development, Oshodi brings extensive leadership experience to elevate ATTF and the sport to the next level of success across the continent.

Oshodi’s distinguished career in sports administration began in 2000 when he was appointed to the Lagos State Sports Council Governing Board by then-Governor Bola Tinubu.

He served as chairman of the Lagos State Table Tennis Association and Commissioner for Youth, Sports, and Social Development, overseeing the successful National Sports Festival, “Eko 2012”.

President Tinubu praised Oshodi’s commitment to developing table tennis at the grassroots level, demonstrating integrity, accountability, and dedication.

He assured Oshodi of Nigeria’s continued goodwill and necessary support to succeed in his new role.

With his election, Oshodi becomes the President of the 54-member continental sports body, marking a new era in African table tennis.
