- AbdulRazaq Praises Athlete’s ‘Irrepressible Determination’ as She Clinches Second International Title
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has lauded para badminton sensation Eniola Bolaji for her latest triumph at the Spanish Para Badminton International II, where she clinched a gold medal in Spain.
Bolaji, a Kwara-born athlete, recently added the continental crown to her accolades after being crowned African champion, a victory she attributes to relentless coaching support and backing from the Kwara State government.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Rafiu Ajakaye, his Chief Press Secretary, Governor AbdulRazaq hailed Bolaji’s “historic achievements” as a testament to her unyielding resolve and disciplined dedication to excellence. “Her success is rooted in an indomitable spirit and her commitment to turning every opportunity into a milestone,” the Governor said.
Bolaji’s latest victory cements her status as one of Nigeria’s most decorated para-athletes, following her African championship win earlier this year.
The Governor praised her role as a global ambassador for Kwara and Nigeria, urging her to sustain the momentum. “Eniola embodies the resilience and talent our state is proud of. We urge her to keep raising the bar,” he added.
The para-badminton star, who has consistently credited her coaches and the state government for fostering her career, continues to shine on the international stage. AbdulRazaq expressed confidence in her future, stating, “We celebrate her today and look forward to many more years of groundbreaking achievements.”
The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, reiterated the administration’s commitment to supporting athletes, emphasizing that Bolaji’s success aligns with Kwara’s broader investments in youth development and sports.
As Bolaji’s star rises, her journey stands as an inspiration to aspiring athletes, proving that grit and institutional support can defy odds and rewrite narratives in global sports.
