Jude Nwafor, coach of the Anambra Taekwondo team, said the victories had boosted the team’s morale and strengthened their resolve to perform better in upcoming matches.
He expressed a desire for more top-place finishes but praised his athletes for their spirited effort.
“It could have been better. I would have preferred gold medals, but we still have chances to win more laurels,” he said.
