RIO? NO FUNDS FOR NIGERIA'S PARALYMPIC TEAM YET

Nigeria's participation in the forthcoming Paralympic Games taking place in Brazil between September 7 and 18th looks to be in doubt as the athletes have not got any word from the government regarding funding.Traditionally, Nigeria has always done well in Paralympic Games and won six gold, five silver and two bronze medals at London 2012 event. Expecting to build on that success, the team have been waiting for funding to begin preparing to leave for Brazil but so far have not got any word from the government. So far, the athletes who have been in camp throughout August have not received any allowance and have moaned about the poor diet they have been offered.
