The Minister of Sports and Chairman,
National Sports Commission, Bolaji Abdullahi, has revealed that
President Goodluck Jonathan is targeting five gold medals from Rio 2016
Olympics despite the abysmal failure of Team Nigeria at London 2012
Olympics.
Nigeria finished the London Games as one
the worst teams, failing to win any medal but Abdullahi said on
Channels Television on Wednesday that Jonathan wants an early
preparation for the next Games and expects no fewer than five golds.
“Mr. President believes if we start to
work now we can win five gold medals in Rio in 2016. If we start to work
towards that target, we may or may not meet it, but we must begin now
to work towards it and believe it is possible,” Abdullahi said.
