that D ‘ Tigress performed better than expected as they qualified for the quater-final of Basketball event lost to United States.

In the same vein, Enugu State Chairman Badminton Association Board,

Mr Kester Agu, regretted , that Inspite of abundant sports talents in the

country Nigeria could not harness them, adding that lack of grassroots

sports competitions and the unfortunate scenario of best Nigerian athletes not performing for Nigeria and yet do well for other countries , accounted for our failure in the Olympics.
