Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, has revealed that the victorious team who represented Nigeria at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, will be received when they arrive in Abuja. According to him, a reception for the team will hold tomorrow – Sunday 18th September 2016, at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport reception ground by 3pm.
This is a welcome development considering Nigeria’s U23 Olympic team, who won bronze at the games, arrived back in Nigeria in August without any official from the Sports Ministry or the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) welcoming them, and departed to their various destinations as no plans were made to host them.
