The maiden edition of the ValueJet Para Table Tennis Open will serve off today at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos. “I am impressed with what I have seen so far in Nigeria, particularly the hospitality of the people. I believe Nigeria has the potential to rule the world in para-table tennis considering its rising profile in Africa. We hope and believe it can make it to the calendar of the ITTF in years to come,” he said. Meanwhile, the Head of Business and Programme, Valuejet, Temitope Ajibola, who spoke on behalf of the sponsor, said the airline would continue its unflinching support for sports with the para-table tennis championship in the country.
