The Minister of Sports Development, JOHN ENOH disclosed this in Abuja at a ministerial strategic technical meeting aimed at preparing Team Nigeria for the Olympic/ Paralympic Games.

The meeting had in attendance presidents, secretaries, and technical directors of the 11 Olympic-bound sports federations.

The minister, who stressed the importance of proper preparations for the Games, assured that foreign training tours for athletes would commence immediately after the domestic camp.
