Abdulbaasit Abdulfatai of Kwara had rallied to grab a 2-2 stalemate after falling to Mathew Kuti of Lagos in the first two sets in the finals of the table tennis event at the ongoing National Youth Games in Ilorin.
After clinching the gold medal in the doubles event, it was a difficult situation for Abdulfatai against Kuti.

Overall, Kwara hauled two gold and two silver medals from the outing.
