Seven Para-athletes left Lagos on
yesterday for Tunisia to take part in the 9th Tunis
International Meet, which
holds March 20 to 25. The seven track and field athletes who made the trip are
Onye Lauretha, Uwak Unyime, Esther Lawrence, Hannah Babalola, Rotawa
Oluwasegun, Pat Nneji and Galadima Suwaibidu.
With The All Africa Games and Rio
2016 around the corner, it appears top officials have finally come to the
realization that there is a job to be done. Surprisingly, the National Sports
Commission sent the seven athletes to Africa's only IPC Athletics Grand
Prix of the year without an
accompanying coach. Bisi Okubote, the Para-Athletics Federation secretary
rather led the delegation to the event.
Former Paralympic medalist in
power-lifting, Patricia Nneji entered to compete in the throws.
