Gatekeepers News reports that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has charged Team Nigeria’s Tokyo Olympic Games, to make the country proud as the past Nigerian Olympians have.
Osinbajo gave this charge while unveiling team Nigeria’s Tokyo Olympics kit/equipment at the State House Banquet Centre, Abuja on Monday.
The Vice President encouraged the team to repeat the feats performed by the nation’s Olympic athletes in Atlanta, United States, and Sydney, Australia in 1996 and 2000 respectively.
Osinbajo while urging the team to replicate the performances of past Nigerian Olympians, noted that “you stand on the shoulders of giants.”
“You will also carry with you the encouragement of the great exploits of Nigerian Olympians before you.”
He also reminded the team of such legend as Chioma Ajunwa who won the women’s long jump gold medal at the 1996 Olympics and became the first black African woman to achieve such a feat.
