Adekuoroye gets Halogen support for Olympics glory

AS Nigeria’s team to the Tokyo Olympics departs for Japan amid high expectations, Halogen Group has sent a goodwill message to its adopted athlete, Odunayo Adekuoroye.

Adekuoroye, the Nigerian women wrestling sensation, who has been ranked the world’s number one in the 57kg category, is a two- time Commonwealth women wrestling champion, and has won multiple gold medals in several high profile global tournaments.

The wrestler, who has been named by the Federal Government as Nigeria’s flagbearer at the opening of Tokyo Olympics, was last year adopted by Halogen Group under the “adopt- an- athlete” initiative designed by the government to produce champions for Nigeria at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

In its goodwill message, Halogen praised Adekuoroye’s dedication, discipline and focus which it says have resulted to her string of winnings at various global tournaments, noting that her determination, selfbelief and faith, which have seen her rise to international prominence, are the same virtues she needs to hold dear in the pursuit of Olympic success.
