The Technical Director of the Para Power-lifting
Federation of Nigeria, Samuel Ekeoma has condemned both the Paralympics
Committee of Nigeria (PCN) and the National Sports Commission (NSC) for excluding
from the list of officials that attended the recently concluded Paralympics
game in London
Nigeria bagged a total of 13 medal which include 6
golds , 6 silver and 1 bronze medals to come third from the African perspective
as Tunisia and South Africa won 12 gold
and 8 gold respectively to lead the African campaign at the Games
Ekeoma was with the team during all its trials in
Nigeria and the competition it went to in order to qualify; the Korfakan
tourney in UAE and throughout the preparations in Korea before the team went to
camp in Surrey.
He lamented that it was regrettable that he was
dropped after helping the team to prepare for the Paralympics Games
The technical director observed that with his
position as the Technical Director, he ought to be one of the officials of the
Federation, adding that it was a shame that he was not allowed to finish what
he started.
Ekeoma noted that those who were queuing to be
recognized with the team in the PCN and the NSC did not know how the team got
to where it is today. He added that it was unfortunate that he was being
treated unfairly after serving his country well.
