Rilwan Akanbi and Bisola Asaju have claimed the men's and women's singles titles at the 6th Michael and Felicia Alabi Memorial Table Tennis Tournament, held at the newly built Idera Multi-Purpose Hall in Otan Ayegbaju, Osun State (a state in southwestern Nigeria). Akanbi defeated Wasiu Azeez 4–2 in the men's final after eliminating defending champion Abdulbasit Abdulfatai in the semifinals, while Asaju beat Favour Ojo 4–2 to take the women's crown following the surprise round-of-16 exit of reigning champion Hope Udoaka. The five-day national competition drew over 200 players and offered a ₦5 million prize pool — up from ₦3.5 million last year — underlining the tournament's growing stature as one of Nigeria's premier table tennis fixtures.
