He said for them to challenge Japanese athletes who happen to be the second best in the world, speaks volume of the fact that Nigeria has enormous talents in sports that if nurtured properly, will bring glory to the country.

“They have been the center of attraction in the game,” Enoh said as he observed that other countries’ attention were on six Nigerian athletes who were participating with significant zeal among the one hundred and seventeen countries that featured to compete in the Olympic Championship.
