“I am the national U-16 champion and also won two tournaments in Lagos and Ibadan last year, the Prime Atlantic and JGM in Ibadan. 

“I moved to the senior level in November last year but we are yet to have any tournaments.

“My biggest challenge is sponsorship because I need to register for the Professional Squash Association (PSA) which is N400,000 and I am just a young school leaver waiting to write my JAMB”, he stated.

“My aspiration is to become the best squash player in the world. I know people will think it’s a tall order but I am determined to achieve that and thank God for the progress because with the squash facilities and courts provided by the governor, this will really assist me to attain my dreams”, he added.
