Posted : 29 May 2025

Best Oduah, a member of Team Delta, etched her name in the history books as she claimed a gold medal in the Rifle Shooting category at the ongoing National Sports Festival (Gateway Games 2024) in Abeokuta.


The main highlight of her achievement is the fact that she is a nursing mother, yet she defied her status to clinch the highest medal of the festival.


In an interview, Oduah called on governments at all levels to invest in the sport of shooting to enable it to compete with more popular sports across Nigeria.


Oduah, a nursing mother of a two-month-old baby, expressed immense joy at winning gold for her state and emphasized the potential of shooting as a medal-winning sport for Nigeria in global competitions.


“I’m excited about this gold for Delta State. With hard work and unwavering commitment, I believe I can achieve my dream of representing Nigeria at the African Games and the Olympics,” she said.


The determined athlete, who overcame personal and physical challenges to reach the podium, said shooting deserves greater recognition and support.


“Shooting has the potential to bring medals for Nigeria internationally. With better funding, training, and facilities, we can dominate the sport globally,” she added.


Meanwhile, the latest medal standings in shooting from the festival are as follows:
Ogun State – 9 Gold, 10 Silver, 3 Bronze
Rivers State – 8 Gold, 6 Silver, 7 Bronze
Delta State – 8 Gold, 6 Silver, 4 Bronze
