Makpa said   that two components are  involved in the arrangements for the event, first of all as the host and secondly, Nigerian players are  participating.

“As the host, we will make sure that the facilities are in good condition as well as the equipment needed for the event.

“We have been  preparing for this event and as you can see, we are visiting the areas to make sure that we put final touches,” he said.

He said that  the Nigeria team have  started  arriving in  camp ahead  July1, when it will  formally open.

“We have between six and eight players in the camp, of whom only five will actually represent Nigeria.

“Nevertheless, we are doing well and we are confident that with God everything will go according to plan for a hitch-free qualification.

“We have the likes of David Ekpenyong, Daniel Adeleye, Uche Oparaojie ,Michael Emmmanuel, Christopher Bulus, among others, who will be in  camp participating in the competition.

“They are experienced players, in fact three of them had competed in the 2023 Davis Cup Africa Group IV qualifying rounds match in Kigali, Rwanda,”he said.

The secretary said that based on their experiences,  they performed very  well in 2023 and won the majority of their games that led to the country’s qualification and promotion for Group three alongside Ghana.

“The  players will be able to represent Nigeria with pride because they are already in good shape and are fully prepared,” he said..

Makpa expressed confidence that with the backing of the NTF board,  the country will  host a good tournament that  would be adjudged as one of the most successful Davis Cup ever.

NAN reports that a total of six countries are expected to participate in the event, which include host Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Ivory Coast, Benin Republic and Ghana. They will be competing for two slots in Group II  in the qualifying round.
