Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed this on Wednesday at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Abdullahi assured that there will be no room for jamboree which had been the usual practice in the past where government officials with little or nothing to do at sporting events are dispatched to attend thereby constituting nuisance in most cases and also end up distracting the athletes.
The unprecedented move by President Jonathan, according to the minister was aimed at cutting cost and gets the athletes focused.
He said: “This is to ensure that we have value for what are doing. Any governor or top government officials outside of the participating teams seen at the London Olympics will certainly not have travelled on federal government ticket.
