Enoh tasks federations to surpass Atlanta ‘96 record

The meeting with the Olympics-bound sports federations was aimed at creating a detailed plan and training programs for Team Nigeria to shine in Paris.

“The strategies will be reviewed by the Federation and Elite Athletes Department (FEAD) and the Ministerial Podium Performance Committee to guarantee Team Nigeria’s medal-winning path. 

“Surpassing our best Olympic performance is a goal that we should aim to meet. We must build on our past successes and strive for excellence in Paris 2024.

“The combination of domestic camping and foreign training tours is essential. It ensures our athletes are well-prepared and ready to compete at the highest level,” the minister stated.

It was gathered that 88 athletes have so far qualified for the Olympic while others are still in the qualification process.

In preparation for the Games, the domestic camping will officially open in Abuja, Lagos, Bayelsa and Ibadan during the weekend while foreign training tours will take place thereafter with the US, Germany, Spain, Italy, amongst top destinations pencilled down.
