Adesoji Tayo elected new NTTF president

In a significant leadership transition, Adesoji Tayo has been elected as the new president of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF).

The election, which took place on October 4 in Abuja, marks the beginning of a new chapter for the sport in the country.

Tayo, who previously served as the federation’s vice president, succeeds Ishaku Tikon, who had steered the NTTF for eight years.

The path to the presidency was cleared for Tayo when his sole opponent Khamisu Ahmed of Gombe state stepped down from the race.

Following his withdrawal, Ahmed was named the new vice president of the federation.

Tayo, who also serves as the chairman of the Oyo State Table Tennis Association, now joins a distinguished group of individuals tasked with guiding the federation and elevating the sport of table tennis across Nigeria for the next four years.
