The Wrestling Federation National team women's coach, Akuh Purity, who spoke exclusively with the Media Officer of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Promise Okotoko, expressed hope that Esther Kolawole will give a good account of herself.
Akuh Purity said, "we are heading to these tournaments to compete. However, we want to continue to expose our wrestlers by competing with their international counterparts in such tournaments."
"In doing so, it would help us to assess the strength and track progress of our wrestlers on how they performed at regular intervals to monitor improvement and adjust training accordingly."
