The President of The Nigeria Fencing Federation (TNFF) Adeyinka Samuel said the country is ready to host a befitting World Fencing Championships in September due to its successful hosting of the African Fencing Championships on two previous occasions in 2018 and 2022.
Samuel who is a two-time Commonwealth Gold medallist in Fencing, said the TNFF is commonly known, will once again pull all the stops to host the rest of the world, adding that the body is finalizing all arrangements towards a hitch free competition.
He said that Nigeria will host the World Fencing Championships between September 10 and 11 at the Continental Hotel in Victoria Island and unlike in all other sport, this is more or less a life-long hosting rights as the TNFF will also host the event in 2023. He also called on both the state government and Corporate Nigeria to support Nigerian Fencing.
