John Enoh, minister of sports development, has apologised for Team Nigeria’s “abysmal performance” at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In a statement his social media on Sunday, the minister said the country’s performance at the Olympics “fell short of expectations”.
Nigeria presented over 80 athletes in Paris but failed to win an Olympic medal — for the first time since 2012.
The contingent battled administrative lapses and poor technical decisions alongside abysmal performances.
In the statement, Enoh said the sports ministry would reflect on what went wrong towards better performance at the upcoming Paralympics.
The minister also revealed that there were no preparations in place for the Olympics upon assumption of office a year ago.
