Speaking with Mouthpiece NGR on Thursday, CEO of the Centre, Mr Ayuba Qadr FCA recounted how he was brought to Triumph Dynamic Professionals Training Hub in May 2019, looking so tiny and fragile.

“Many people doubted his ability to cope with ICAN rigors but his father had strong confidence in him that all my persuasion to discourage him from being registered was entering his deaf ears”, said the CEO.
