In a telephone chat, Mrs. Opara hinted that the purpose of the visit is to assess generally, how the training is being conducted and to as well encourage and boost the morale of the athletes to get them better prepared for the challenges ahead. “Our visit here is to emphasize to you that you are carrying the hope and aspirations of all Nigerians, and that Nigerians are all behind you and are wishing you a successful outing” she said.
According to the Deputy Chef De mission, “The camp is going on well. They have standard facilities and the camp is going on well”.
Mrs. Opara expressed satisfaction with the way the training was being conducted and charged the athletes and their coaches to approach the challenge before them with that uncommon patriotism and resilience Nigeria’s athletes are known for, to be able to secure a podium finish throughout the games.
