Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has felicitated with former president of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF), Wahid Enitan Oshodi, on his new position as the deputy president of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF).
According to a release by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, yesterday, the elevation of the former Lagos State Commissioner for Sports in Africa at the recent virtual General Assembly of the continental body was well deserved.

“On behalf of the Lagos State government and millions of Lagosians, I felicitate with a worthy citizen of our dear state, Wahid Enitan Oshodi on his election as the deputy president of the African Table Tennis Federation.
“The elevation of Oshodi to the position of deputy president of ATTF is good news to us in Lagos. He really deserves the elevation, having distinguished himself in the sports industry, especially at the tennis federation with high level of professionalism and integrity.
