“Most of the athletes have left after concluding their events,”I have never experienced this in my years in sports. Money meant for the Games was held tightly by ministry officials and they were just releasing money piecemeal. We had to buy kits on our own while some athletes competed in their personal kits,” he added.
Team Nigeria had to settle for their warm-up track suits
for the match past of the Opening Ceremony as their attire did not make
it to Brazil.
The sports ministry claimed the official attire which was showcased before President Muhammadu Buhari during the hand-over ceremony in Abuja failed to arrive on time for the ceremony.
