Dare charges Nigeria’s para-athletics team on discipline

Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare, has charged Nigeria’s Para-athletics team to Switzerland to be worthy Ambassadors of the country as they seek to qualify for the 2020 Paralympics taking place in Tokyo later in the year.

Dare gave the charge when he bade farewell to the team for the Qualifiers on Sunday through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International, Airport, Abuja.

“Nigeria is solidly behind your bid for qualification for the para-athletics event in Notwil, Switzerland. There is no doubt about your abilities which you have always proved over the years. You must be worthy Ambassadors of our dear country by conducting yourselves very well to attain the best standards for Qualifiers.
