There might be some confusions in the Nigerian camp at the ongoing Rio 2016 Olympic Games over the non-release of funds to athletes and officials.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) it has been gathered that the Federal Government had already approved funds for the athletes and officials to meet certain obligations.
However, a reliable source told NAN there that the budget for each of the federations and the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) had yet to be released by officials of the Federal Ministry of Sports. Some athletes had begun to complain of poor kitting , especially warm clothing, there.
