The President, Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Daniel Igali in his remarks expressed confidence that the wrestlers will put up a good performance at this year’s Olympics.

“The Nigeria Wrestling Federation is a very serious Federation, the athletes have been in camp training for couple of weeks now and in my view they’re prepared.

“The athletes won’t be going to Paris to participate but to compete and you know when someone competes is for medals and we are hoping that if we compete very well the medals will come,” Igali said.

Earlier, the Bayelsa State Government through the Secretary to the State government, Prof. Nimibofa Ayawei bids farewell to the contingents with the aim to make Nigerians proud.

“Our love for the Olympics today is the reason we are here.

“So, I enjoin you to make the nation proud at the Games by competing clean and bringing glory back home so we all can celebrate,” Ayawei stated.

The athletes and officials are expected to depart Nigeria for Spain on July 3 for a pre Olympic tournament in Madrid before settling in Germany for their last camping ahead of the games proper. (vitalnewsngr.com)
