Tofunmi Ibidapo (Grange), Imran Adenusi (Meadowhall) and Kashope Obatoyinbo (BIS) also won 3 Gold medals each and were the MVPs in their various age categories.

“This is more like a reward for hardwork as I trained hard for this competition. I’m looking forward to the next edition and I know I can retain my title,” Akanbi said in excitement.

Other swimmers including, Chioma Kanu (Grange), Abodunrin Thomas (Grange), Ayiba Azazi (IC Marlins) Inilouwa Dumoye (Greensprings),  Semaan Majed (CIS) and Temidayo Adenubi (IC Marlins), put up commendable performances to the admiration of school officials, parents as well as club members who were in attendance.

 

Swimming Section chairman, Ikedichi Kanu was full of thanks to Zenith Bank, stating that the tournament has been the bedrock for swimming development in Nigeria as most of the current generation of swimmers that are doing well for Nigeria cut their teeth from the tournament.

 

He stated: “The record is there to show, most of the athletes that we are looking forward to putting Nigeria on the world map of swimming have been to this tournament. This is a great investment from Zenith Bank and with just few years to come, the results will come.”
