The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated the President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF), Wahid Enitan Oshodi, on his re-election as the Executive Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a congratulatory statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, said the re-election of Oshodi as Executive Vice President of ITTF is a testament to his leadership qualities and hard work during his first term.

Oshodi was re-elected as Executive Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) during the continuation of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held online on Saturday, November 15, 2025.

Governor Sanwo-Olu said Oshodi, as the President of ATTF and Executive Vice President of ITTF, has done very well, and his performance in office earned the confidence of his colleagues and other stakeholders to re-elect him for another term.

He said, “On behalf of my family, the government and the people of Lagos State, I rejoice with a worthy citizen of our dear State, Wahid Enitan Oshodi, on his re-election as the Executive Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

“I believe strongly that Oshodi’s re-election as Vice President of ITTF is good news to us in Lagos, Nigeria, and Africa at large, considering the fact that he emerged among the top seven from the United States of America, China, Turkey, Australia, Ecuador, Romania and Jordan.

“He deserves to be re-elected having distinguished himself in the office of the Vice President of ITTF and in several positions he has occupied in the past at the state, national, continental and international levels.

“Oshodi has contributed immensely to the development of sports and table tennis in particular for many years and has displayed exemplary leadership and managerial skills in several positions he has held.

“We are proud of him, and we believe that he will use his position at the continental and international levels to lift the fortunes of table tennis in Nigeria and Africa and raise the bar of the sport to compete with the rest of the world.”
