Oluwafemiayo said, “I am happy Nigeria is hosting the 2020 Para Powerlifting World Cup because I intend using it as one of my preparatory tournaments ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. We are all aware of the difficulties the federation has been facing before and during this current board which bothers on funding.

She further said; “Most of us are excited because some of the best lifters in the will be in Nigeria and this will let us know their strengths and weaknesses. I will not only win gold medal but study some of my opponents”.
