As part of his contributions to the development of weightlifting in the country, former Olympian, Coach Emmanuel Oshomah,  is set to launch a weightlifting academy, the first of its kind in Nigeria.

“By now, Nigeria should be consistent on the Olympic podium. The defunct Bendel State was a leading weightlifting state in Nigeria, a position that was maintained by Edo and Delta states. That is what gave birth to this private initiative to situate the academy in Auchi.”
