Nigerian athletes paid training grants, allowances – Sports minister

Enoh, tweeting as #OwanEnoh, noted on Tuesday via his X.com handle, that this would be the “first time ever” that home-based athletes representing the country would receive training grants.

His tweets read, “In ensuring that all local, foreign and Olympics allowances are paid to all Team Nigeria athletes, I had another interactive session with the athletes at the games village in Paris as follow up on their welfare.

“Home-based athletes complained of never receiving training grants, as this has only been a privilege for their foreign-based counterparts representing the country.

“We have ensured for the first time ever, home-based athletes representing the country also receive training grants. Foreign and home-based athletes have now received training grants in addition to all other allowances already paid.”

The minister stated that all athletes who represent the country “deserve training grants, as they all put in efforts and passion to represent the country. They are all deserving.
