The Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) is set to organize a two-day national coaching seminar focused on leadership and management skills. Scheduled for December 17-18, the event will take place at the Additional Sports and Entertainment Pro Limited in Mowe, Ogun State.

The seminar, which targets Nigerian table tennis coaches with a special emphasis on female participation, aligns with the International Table Tennis Federation’s Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (GEDI) Initiative. It is a key component of the one-week sports and leadership boot camp titled “Awaken the Giant, She Can 4.0”, proudly supported by the NTTF.

This event marks the third stage of the 2024 “My Gender, My Strength” program, with table tennis star Abosede Akinsete among its notable beneficiaries.

NTTF President Tikon Ishaku, Vice President Adesoji Tayo, and other board members remain committed to empowering coaches and advancing gender inclusion in sports. Enitan Oshodi, ITTF Executive Vice President and President of ITTF-Africa, has also reiterated his dedication to promoting women in sports under the GEDI framework.

Renowned speakers will deliver insightful sessions on leadership and management strategies, equipping coaches to identify and nurture talent, develop high-performance athletes for global competition, and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals.
