An international tennis champion Offiong Edem has called on the Nigeria Table Tennis Foundation, NTTF, to establish a league for all the Table Tennis clubs in the country.
She said the National Tennis League should be established the same way there is the Nigerian Football Federation League to inject the spirit of competition.
Briefing journalists about the 4th edition of the table tennis tournament for children under the ages of 9 to 17, Offiong said the league will highly enhance the fortunes of the sports in the country and help expose individual players.
She spoke of their experience in the African Club championship held in Benghazi, Libya, where her club, the Canaan Queens of Calabar was only defeated at the finals by the Petrojet Tennis Club of Egypt.
Noting that she was not happy that the club which represented Nigeria at the championship was defeated at the finals, she expressed delight that they sailed to the finals by defeating other highly-rated clubs in Africa.
