Akanbi Targets Third Title as Molade Okoya-Thomas Championship Kicks off Two-time men’s singles champion, Rilwan Akanbi, has boasted of his intention to retain the title as the 54the Molade Okoya-Thomas Table Tennis Champ

Two-time men’s singles champion, Rilwan Akanbi, has boasted of his intention to retain the title as the 54the Molade Okoya-Thomas Table Tennis Championships kick off today at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.

The former West Africa champion said winning the tournament this year would surely put him in vantage position to be included in the national team for the African Games in Ghana next year. “I want to play at the next African Games and I need this title to show that I am capable of being part of the team because past champions of this tournament have moved on into the national team,” he added.

“The family decided to name the tournament after the initiator of the tournament because the former name was a title given to him while he was alive and since his demise, the title has been given to someone else, so it is pertinent that the family use his name for the tournament which has remained the longest sports competition in Nigeria,” he said.
