Just two years after joining the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), 22-year-old Aircraft Woman (ACW) Makanjuola Morerinayo Dominion has become a national sensation, winning 8 medals at the just concluded Chief of Defence Staff’s Armed Forces Inter-Service Archery Competition held in Abuja.
But her story isn’t just about medals, it’s about discovering a hidden talent, embracing the moment, and rising with courage.
It all began in May 2024, during the NAF Combat Games at the NAF Valley Sports Complex. On a simple invitation to “try a shot,” Makanjuola picked up the bow for the first time and hit the target. The crowd gasped. She smiled. A star was born!
With the support of NAF coaches and relentless personal discipline, she honed her skill and soon earned her spot representing the Nigerian Air Force at the Inter-Service Games in Kaduna, where she clinched 2 gold and 2 silver medals.
Her momentum didn’t stop there. Representing Nigeria at the All-African Military Games in November 2024, she struck gold again—twice. And this April, she crowned her rise with an astounding 8 medals in one competition. Her journey is a symbol of what the NAF represents: Willing. Able. Ready.
From first shot to podium glory, ACW Makanjuola reminds us that greatness often begins with a single bold step—and is carried forward by passion, perseverance, and purpose.
