Paris 2024: Sports Ministry To Start next Olympic preparation 'Now'

Nigeria was left empty-handed at the end of the Olympic Games in France, having failed to secure a medal. However, the Ministry of Sports Development has declared that it is prepared to "turn the tides and restore our sporting glory." Nigerians were enthused by the athletes' performances, even though it was devoid of medals at the games. As a result, many stayed up late to watch their team participate. 

The sport ministry's spokeswoman, Kehinde Ajayi, stated in a statement that "the journey in Paris has inspired us as a Ministry to start now for the next games coming up in Los Angeles 2028, so we can rewrite history and show the world we are the giant of the black race."

“We understand the winning mentality of Nigerians and how disappointed we are towards our outing, but I assure you the leadership of Sen. John Owan Enoh is ready to turn the tides around and restore our sporting glory.”

She commended the authorities and coaches for their work throughout the competition and thanked President Bola Tinubu for his support in allowing the funds to be released. "We appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's prompt approval and disbursement of the funds; it demonstrates that we have a President who is aware of what is best for our young athletes and who listens to them." "We extend our gratitude to the athletes, coaches, technical director, officials, medics, and medics whose performances have motivated the following generation."

The Ministry of Sports Development urges everyone to embrace and live in a culture of peace every day in order to rebuild Nigeria's greatness, since every race has an end and a new one begins.
