The president, Nigeria Wrestling Federation Daniel Igali, says the federation plans to be one of the highest medal winning teams at the impending 12 All African Games in Rabat, Morocco.
Igali made the remark at the opening ceremony of the 3rd edition of the Gov. Dickson National Wrestling Classics, holding at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, Bayelsa.
Igali added that being a pre-Olympic year, the tournament promises to be one of the most important for participating athletes and officials.
The Olympian added that the Nigeria Wrestling Federation is determined to be one of the highest medal-winning teams at the All African Games scheduled to hold in August.
He added that at consecutive Continental Championships and multi-sport international engagements such as the All African Games and the Commonwealth Games, Wrestling has been one of the highest medal winning sports for Nigeria.
The 12th All African Games is scheduled to hold from August 19 to August 31, 2019.
