In 1982, he won the table tennis singles event at the Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships (in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia), before partnering with Sunday Eboh to take the doubles gold in the same discipline.
Along with Francis Sule, Atanda, again, won the table tennis doubles gold medal at the 1985 Commonwealth Games. In 1991, with Bose Kaffo as partner, he won the Commonwealth Games' Mixed Doubles event for table tennis.
