I am not the problem of Nigerian sports – Dalung

Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, has fired back at those calling for his sack following the country’s poor outing at the 2016 Olympic Games and says he is not the problem.
Dalung was speaking to State House correspondents, after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to review the Olympics, where Nigeria finished with only one bronze medal.

He argued that poor performances have always been the case with Nigeria, even before he was appointed.



“I am not the problem of Nigerian sports. Abysmal performance has been happening before me,” Dalung said.

The Minister also called for a return to the grassroots, to groom talents for future competitions.
