The secretary-general of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) Olabanji Oladapo could not hide his excitement after watching Quadri Aruna becoming the first African to qualify for the quarterfinal of the World Table Tennis (WTT) contender series taking place in Doha, Qatar.

Aruna defeated Indian national champion, Sathiyan Gnanasekaran with 3-0 to set up a round of 16 tie against Portugal’s Joao Geraldo and beat the Portuguese national with superlative performance to record a 3-2 (10-12, 12-10, 12-10, 4-11, 11-6) win.

An excited Oladapo described the performance of Aruna as a confirmation of the ability of the Oyo Stateborn athlete.
“Aruna has been a shining light in table tennis not only in Nigeria and Africa but globally”. His efforts have continued to put Nigeria and Africa on the world map of table tennis. Having watched the way he played against the Portuguese, I am so proud of him and I believe Africa is also proud of what the Nigerian has achieved in the sport.

His performance on table is another confirmation of what he can do and he has indeed inspired the future generation with his display in Qatar. What he will do in the next match will be another feat for Africa and we wish him well over there,” the NOC scribe added.

Aruna will face one of the skillful players in the world Chinese Taipei’s Yun-Ju Lin, who has been described as Chinese nemesis, today.
