The man who started, Taekwondo in Nigeria, Aikpa Aime of Ivory Coast, has expressed disappointment at the lack of a national training centre after more than 40 years of the sport in the country.
He made this known to officials of the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation, NTF and the Federal Sports Ministry at a reception in his honour in Lagos.
The Ivorian pleaded with the Sports Ministry to help Nigeria achieve her full potentials in the sport.
Aime arrived Nigeria from Ivory Coast in 1974 where he began training at the now abandoned volleyball court of the national stadium in Lagos.
