Former National Table Tennis Coach, Babatunde Obisanya has expressed dissatisfaction with the results from the game this year, saying there was nothing to talk about from the various competitions attended by the country’s athletes. Obisanya, who spoke to The Guardian yesterday, added that government has not been fair to table tennis and other sports, saying it spends huge funds on football to the detriment of others in 2019.“I will be honest with you, the game of table tennis hasn’t been encouraging in the last one or two years. It should also look at the other sports that have been neglected for so long.“In table tennis, we have not had any interesting result in all competitions this year and it tells you why I am unimpressed. Obisanya commended the recent adopt-an athlete initiative of the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, Obisanya, adding, however, that it is not new. More so, there should be a consistent policy and not one minister coming in today to say this is how he wants it and another one coming to say another thing,” Obisanya said.
