WTT Board: Mailantarki hails Wahid Oshodi’s appointment

The Vice President of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF), Hon. Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki, has extended his warmest congratulations to Nigeria’s foremost table tennis administrator, Wahid Oshodi, following his appointment to the Board of World Table Tennis (WTT).

Hon. Mailantarki described the appointment as a “round peg in a round hole,” noting that Oshodi’s elevation to the game’s apex commercial body is a testament to his track record of excellence.

Oshodi, who is the current President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF) and Executive Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), was appointed as a Director to represent the ITTF on the WTT Board alongside ITTF President Petra Sörling.

“This is a proud moment for Nigeria and a victory for the African continent,” Mailantarki stated.

“Barrister Oshodi has risen through the ranks from the national level to the continental stage with a vision that has transformed the sport.

“Having him as a decision-maker at the highest level of World Table Tennis ensures that African interests are well-represented.”

The NTTF Vice President further congratulated the Nigerian sports community, emphasizing that Oshodi’s presence in the WTT inner circle will serve as a catalyst for the continued growth and commercialization of the game globally.
