“The Canaan Table Tennis Club has once again made us proud. Their stellar performance in Tunisia is not just a victory for Cross River but for the entire nation. As someone deeply passionate about empowering young girls, I am particularly inspired by the Canaan Queens, who have demonstrated that with determination and hard work, greatness is achievable in any field.”

Meanwhile, Rt. Hon. Orok Duke, Chairman of the Canaan Table Tennis Club and Cross River State’s representative in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), extolled the team’s achievement, noting that it further cements Nigeria’s growing dominance in international table tennis.
