This call to action comes on the heels of the recent Olympic Games, where Nigerian athletes faced scrutiny for their shody performance and failure to win a single medal at the games 

Varnava emphasized that Nigeria has a long way to go to qualify a d win laurels at  the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. 

“Nigeria has to be represented correctly in the olympic games because what we saw at the Paris olympic game is not a correct  Nigeria representation” he said 

He stressed that the government needs to take the lead in injecting financial resources into the sports sector. By doing so, he assured that sponsors would be more likely to come on board, ultimately boosting the country’s sports development 

” Talking about athletics, a lot of importance has to be here, you have the resources, you have the people, i think that the government has to start first then I’m sure many sponsors will come along to help.” he adds
