At the media unveiling of the Championship in Abuja, yesterday, Mrs. Hakama Sidi Ali, the acting director of the Corporate Communications Department at the CBN, announced that preliminary matches would start today.

She highlighted that the championship aims to provide a robust platform for discovering, nurturing, and developing young talents, enabling them to represent the country in international tennis tournaments such as the Davis Cup and the All-Africa Games.

Sidi Ali remarked that over the years, the tournament has served as a vital platform for helping young talents move away from the streets, offering opportunities to channel their energy positively and showcase their abilities.

She expressed gratitude to the Nigeria Tennis Federation, recognising them as long standing partners who have consistently mobilised players and ensured their effective and impressive participation in this annual event. Additionally, she acknowledged the ongoing cooperation and support from the media for their unwavering assistance in promoting the championship. Sidi Ali also emphasised that without spectators, no competition could thrive, and thus expressed her appreciation to members of the public and tennis fans whose presence always adds excitement to the championship.
