The Minister of Youths and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung, has reacted to the purported message being sent to the Nigerian Rio athletes concerning their trip the Olympics.
Dalung said that he regrets the embarrassment caused Nigeria by a letter which directed Nigerian athletes going to the Olympic Games in Rio to buy their own air tickets.
The minister claimed that the said letter was not from the ministry and vowed to investigate the writer.
He disclosed this in a statement signed by his media aide, Nneka Anibeze, which was posted on his Facebook account.
