In a heartfelt addition to the event’s purpose, Jackson revealed that the championship is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Dapo Sotuminu, the late Media Director of the federation.

“We are dedicating this championship to celebrate the life and contributions of Mr. Dapo Sotuminu, whose efforts greatly shaped the visibility of armwrestling in Nigeria,” Jackson stated.

“This year’s tournament also aims to honor all athletes and stakeholders who have supported the growth of armwrestling in Nigeria.
