Akande OreOluwa:
“I had kept my eye on the Nigerian fencing federation when it became established on Facebook, then i met with the President. I believe that when your country calls, you must answer so I accepted. I hope to finish the season strong and set an example for younger fencers who I hope can represent and go on to achieve accolades for Nigeria.”
Daminabo Somina:
“Fencing is not a popular sport in Nigeria, i felt like i could make an impact in the sport, which i’m aiming towards.”
Egbesemirone Oritsematosan:
“I was wondering if i could join the junior foil team and accompany them in competitions.”
