He said the board members are thrilled by the level of achievements in the shortest period of time.

Ocheho attributed the success to commitment, determination and hard work.

“The victory has guaranteed Nigeria a position at the upcoming nation’s cup for the cadet and Junior teams in September. This is a great thing for handball in Nigeria, we’ve long been away from the international scene and we are beginning to show that we are still a country to be reckoned with in handball.

Everything the federation and board have been doing is beginning to yield results faster than I imagined”, he said.

“When I took over this job, I told people that they should not judge us with the short term mentality instead long term but the result we are gathering even in the shortest term is so tremendous. Everyone is excited, the handball family is excited; this is the beginning of greater things to come”, he ended.

Ocheho said, “I’m so proud of these boys it’s been a whole lot of commitment, determination and hard work”.
