Reuben told www.aclsports.com the feat has further boosted her morale after missing out of the 2017 African championships. She commended the Nigerian Army for creating enabling environment for her to excel in wrestling.

“I feel great, excited and short of words. This gold medal means a lot to me. Immediately I got on the mat, the thought of not making any mistake came to my mind. I thank God for crowning my efforts”, she said.

The Private Army officer promised to continue training, hoping to represent Nigeria at subsequent international tournaments.
