2024 Olympics: Reps To Probe Nigerian Team’s Poor Performance

None of the 82 athletes who represented the country returned with a medal.


The last time Nigeria did not win a medal at the Olympics was in 2012.

 

The House of Representatives has passed a resolution to probe the abysmal performance of team Nigeria at the Paris 2024 Olympics, to forestall future occurrences.

According to the resolution passed on Thursday, the House expressed worry that none of the 82 athletes who represented the country,  returned with a medal.

The lawmakers decried the huge budget of over ₦12bn for the event which yielded nothing.

The House also urged President Bola Tinubu to establish a commission of enquiry on sports arbitration in Nigeria.
