Former Nigerian international, Bisi Fajinmi (née Tiamiyu), has once again demonstrated her unwavering commitment to the growth of badminton in Nigeria through her generous support of the ongoing All Stars Mega Badminton Championship in Abuja.

A stalwart supporter of the championship since its inception, Bisi has gone beyond cash donations to inspire the next generation of talent. In a remarkable gesture, she awarded gifts worth over ₦200,000 to the best upcoming junior players—male and female—highlighting her dedication to nurturing young athletes and promoting the sport.

The recipients of her generosity, Jonathan Okibe from Mambila Barrack Badminton Club (MBBC), FCT, and Ella Ishaya from Jos Badminton Club, emerged as the best upcoming players in their respective categories. They received high-quality badminton equipment, including bags, rackets, shuttles, and shirts, to enhance their development and fuel their aspirations.

Bisi’s passion for supporting young talents has been a hallmark of her career, both during her time as a player representing Nigeria and now, as a mentor living abroad. Her consistent contributions serve as a beacon of inspiration, emphasizing her commitment to the sport and the youth of Nigeria.

Her generous act at the championship underscores her enduring legacy of giving back and fostering the next generation of champions in Nigerian badminton.
