The inaugural Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) National Taekwondo Championship will take place at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, starting today (Friday). The two-day championship, organised by the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation (NTF), has attracted athletes from states across the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, alongside competitors from clubs and para-military formations across the country. The tournament is sponsored by Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, a former Lagos State Commissioner for Sports and Commissioner for Information and Strategy, and is expected to provide an important platform for identifying and developing new talents for future international competitions. Bamidele said the championship would also help engage young people positively while giving emerging athletes an opportunity to develop their careers.
