FUTURE PLANS
He plans to pursue his education following the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "In Nigeria and Africa as a whole combining sports with studies is usually a Herculean task. In 2016, I was done with my national diploma, so I concentrated fully on playing badminton. I want to concentrate for the Olympics. After the Olympics, I will further my education. I know that there is life after sports so I have to plan for life in retirement." (dailytrust.com, 09 May 2020)
