According to him, regular training sessions are essential for building a pipeline of talented players capable of competing at the highest levels.
The NTTF president explained that maintaining a routine schedule of national camps would enable coaches to closely monitor players’ progress, identify emerging talents, and adequately prepare teams for major continental and global competitions.

Tayo added that the federation remains focused on creating an environment where athletes can consistently improve and compete with the world’s best.
