Uboh stated in an interview with sports247.ng that Nigeria will gain immensely on individual, collective and structural levels from hosting the World Para Powerlifting Championship.
Uboh said the feat will also see Nigeria written in gold, with a lofty spot to be cited for the country in the IPC world record books.
Uboh declared: ‘The benefits of hosting the world championship will be there for our country, Nigeria, as well as for we the officials and the athletes and for the coaches.
“The host state, which will be selected to stage the competition on behalf of Nigeria, will also benefit from tourism and international trade.
