According to him, everything about Nigeria’s elections would have been concluded at this time and there would be no worry over safety of venue for the players and officials.
“We want to start early this year, so we are targeting April/May.
“We want the election to end before we start anything so that there won’t be worries over the safety of players and officials as they will have to travel from one part of the country to another,” Kienka informed our correspondent.
Recall that Team Tech Vibe shocked tennis followers and enthusiasts in the country to win the 2018 edition of the competition as the trend continues for every year to produce a different winner.
