Ogba, chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports, a lot of factors ranging from
poor funding to logistics, contributed to Nigeria’s abysmal performance at the
Olympics Games Speaking to newsmen on Thursday, August 25, in Abuja, Ogba said
the Senate will look into the circumstances when it resumes from recess next
month, The Sun reports. Ogba, who was part of the official delegation to
Brazil, said: “My committee intends to
invite the NOC to come and brief us on the Olympics. Apart from the late
arrival of our athletes’ kits, you can see even our national anthem at the
opening ceremony was the wrong one. So, all these, we are going to find out
what happened when we resume.”
Nawao Nigeria Jaga jaga. Even the anthem they played for us at the
olympics confirms this. lol
