The National Sports Commission has pulled Nigeria's contingent out of the Youth Olympics scheduled for Nanjing, China. This is due to descriminatory behaviour of the Chineese government towards the Athletes. They were quarantined, isolated and stopped from training with other athletes at the event.
In a statement signed Wednesday by the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye Nigeria protested to the organisers that the treatment to the Nigerian athletes were inhuman.
The decision to withdraw Team Nigeria from the Games was taken after a meeting with Sports Minister, Dr Tammy Danagogo, Nigeria Olympic Committee, NOC, President, Engr Sani M. Ndanusa and the Director General of the National sports Commission, Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye.
People must be cursing Sawyer right now.
