The fast rising badminton star appealed to corporate sponsors and well individuals to support her in 2022 in order to accomplish more successes.

She said, “With better facilities and equipment, I know I can become world number 1 in the nearest future. All I need are good sponsors to send me to continental and international championships as well as better badminton facilities.”

Eniola Bolaji made history as the first African athlete to win gold medal at the 2021 Spanish Para Badminton International Championship last May.
