Team Nigeria won 12 gold, nine silver and 14 bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games, with all the 12 gold coming from the female athletes. “I think one of the factors may not be unconnected with the unprofessional ways our athletes were subjected to in previous competitions. It has to be taken seriously because sports participation is an industry that has an inherent capacity to accommodate our jobless youths,” he said.

“There will always be athletes to represent the country, but that is not enough. They must be able to see their future in what they are doing and not just represent the nation at the risk of their own future.
