Kayode Idowu, General Manager, Unmissable Incentives Limited disclosed that Nigerians have great expectations from the Nigerian Athletes at the competition after the not too impressive performance of the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the just concluded World Cup.
‘’After the lacklustre performance of our Football team at the World Cup, Nigerians have now turned their attention to the 2014 Commonwealth Games with high hopes that our athletes will do us proud by giving a good account of themselves” he said.
Idowu stressed further that Nigeria has a good track record in Athletics, Boxing, Table Tennis, Weightlifting and Paralympics having won several laurels at not only the African Games and the Commonwealth Games but also at the Olympics.
He declared that with the level of preparedness put in place by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), the coaching crew and the Athletes for the 2014 Commonwealth Games is unprecedented and a clear indication that the country is poised for success at the Games.
“I must admit that the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has really raised the bar with good planning and preparation for this competition. At least for the first time in our history, we have a robust and well thought out programme and as such we expect the best” he added.
Nigerian Athletes will be competing for honours in different sports including Athletics, Boxing, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Shooting, Wrestling, Power-lifting and Paralympics.
