The British Fencing Association President hinted she has received calls from countries like Germany and the United States indicating interest in being part of future competitions in Nigeria.

It’s a possibility—maybe not now, but in a couple of Olympic cycles, I think we have a good chance.” As the first black woman to serve as president of any sports federation in Europe, Ms Aiyenuro is proud of her role in promoting fencing globally and within Africa. “I think it’s good to bring people into Nigeria to see the reality that we are a force to be reckoned with. We are just behind, but I think in a few years’ time, we hope to be in the same positions as the North Africans.”
