Addressing members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Osun State chapter, at the Osogbo Township Stadium to herald the annual championship for 2025, the chairman of the Osun State Table Tennis Association, Mr Ayodeji Alabi, explained that the cash prizes for winners of the tournament for this year have been jacked up, saying N11.5 million has been set aside for cash prizes alone.

 

Alabi said that the tournament would not only promote table tennis but would also foster a sense of community, showcasing Nigerian culture and talent and discovering more talents in table tennis.
