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.
