Seventeen-year-old Abdul Jabar Adama has made history as Nigeria’s first swimmer to win a medal at the World Aquatics Junior Championships in Romania.
Adama clinched silver in the men’s 50m butterfly, clocking 23.64 seconds, just behind Great Britain’s Dean Fearn who won gold in 23.54.
He also broke two national records in one day, first setting 23.61 in the preliminaries, then lowering it to 23.48 in the semifinals.
A product of Mount Kelly Swimming Academy in the UK, Adama’s rising profile positions him as a potential contender for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The National Sports Commission congratulated Adama and the Aquatics Federation, describing the feat as a landmark moment for Nigerian swimming.
