Daniel Igali saud he
was impressed with the emphatic victory, expressing satisfaction with the incredible outing by the girls.

“I’ve been very impressed with the way they wrestled and I think if they continue in that trajectory , Nigeria should be hopeful of many many gold medals in the evening.

“I thank Nigerians, particularly the Bayelsa State Government for always supporting our activities and we hope to make everyone proud later when the final matches resume,” he said.

Daniel Igali also commended President Bola Tinubu for rewarding hard work of sportmen and wished that, that gesture is extended to those who would be making the country proud at the African Games.

He said : “The President has set a precedence of rewarding silver medalists and gold flats and other encouragements necessary because that’s what he did with the Super Eagles at AFCON and I hope that would be extended.”

“I’m happy that these wrestlers are now eligible for such gesture which will serve as more motivation for other athletes across the country.”
