Ajayi told NAN during the week
that a lack of training facilities had affected the performance of the
state’s athletes in national competitions.
According to him, the state is blessed
with a lot of budding talents in table tennis but a lack of facilities
has been hampering the development of their skills.
He said, “Our athletes need a good training hall for table tennis. The place we are using for training is not encouraging.
“We implore the government to provide a good table tennis hall with the necessary equipment to aid athletes’ training.
“If the equipment is of ITTF standard, it will spur our athletes to prepare ahead of competitions and excel.”
The coach, who led the Ekiti contingent
to the U-17 Toyin Okenla-Ojeaga Championships in Lagos, lauded the
sponsor for promoting table tennis in the country.source: punchng.com
