President Muhammadu Buhari said:
I join millions of sports-loving Nigerians home and abroad to celebrate the glorious exploits of #TeamNigeria at the 2022 Commonwealth Games #Birmingham2022. I watched some of the colourful & spectacular moments of the competition; Nigeria’s successes have brought us great pride!
All of our Medalists brought smiles to our faces, by breaking world, national and games records, as well as achieving personal career bests. Especially our talented young women, in athletics, wrestling and powerlifting.
We are proud of these achievements and the memories will linger with the nation forever. For me this is a special moment and a fitting parting gift, being my last Commonwealth Games as Head of State.
Let me also celebrate the Coaching Crew and Team Officials for the passion they have demonstrated for the development of Nigerian sports. History will remember them for all their contributions in making our athletes shine on the international stage. We are all very grateful!
