NTTF gets equipment support

The Nigeria Table Tennis Federation has received some equipment from a Paris-based Non-Governmental Organisation, Ping Sans Frontieres.
The equipment, made up of used rubbers for beginners, was received by the Secretary General of the NTTF, Chinedu Ezeala-Ogundare, at the ongoing ITTF World Junior Championships in Cape Town, South Africa.
According to the representative of Ping Sans Frontieres, Claire Smagghe, this gesture is a follow-up to the visit to Nigeria by the founder of the NGO, Sarah Hanffou, in May.
Smagghe said: “It is always a pleasure to meet our partners during these major table tennis events.
“This new meeting gave us the opportunity to move on and further develop our common projects. It allows us to give them a new equipment donation.
“As the Nigerian Table Tennis Federation is developing a new programme in order to promote Para table tennis, we will also support them with wheelchairs donation very soon.”
For the NTTF Scribe, the federation would continue to partner bodies that would help in growing the sport in Nigeria, while lauding the organisation for considering Nigeria as beneficiary of the organisation gesture to countries in Africa.
