Quadri Aruna and Offiong Edem won one silver and one bronze in table tennis at the 13th 2023 African Games in Ghana.

In the men’s singles final on Wednesday, Quadri Aruna was beaten by rival Omar Assar of Egypt 4-3.

While Offiong Edem took bronze on Tuesday after losing 4-0 in her semi-final clash with Egypt’s Dina Meshref.

Speaking after winning the bronzing, Edem said: “I am so happy that we were able to attend the last World Championships in Korea and this really helped my game a lot.

“I want to thank the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) for their support and I believe attending such a competition really helped me personally here in Ghana.

“The Egyptians are ahead of us because they attend more competitions than us and we hope we can get such support to return to the top of the game in Africa.”
