Okoko first gained recognition at the 5th National Youth Games in Ilorin and has since made a name for himself in the sport.

Commenting on his journey, the new champion said “Each tournament is a stepping stone, and I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to grow as a player.

“I came here to give it my best shot, but winning was beyond what I expected,” he said.
