Bolaji’s latest victory follows her recent coronation as African para badminton champion—a feat she attributed to the unwavering support of her coaches and the Kwara State Government. Governor AbdulRazaq, in a statement issued on Tuesday, praised her relentless drive and personal discipline, which he described as the bedrock of her historic achievements.

“I urge her to remain focused and continue raising the flag of Kwarastate and nation. I urge her to remain focused and continue raising the flag of Kwara and Nigeria higher.”

Bolaji, who hails from Kwara State, has rapidly ascended the ranks of para badminton, dominating continental and international tournaments. Her gold medal in Spain adds to a growing list of accolades that spotlight Nigeria’s rising influence in para sports.
