The sports minister maintains that he is in the
dark over the Dream Team VI’s choice of the
North American nation for Rio preparations
Nigeria sports minister Solomon Dalung has
made it clear that he is unaware of Nigeria
U23’s trip to the United States of America.
Samson Siasia’s team departed for the North
African nation last week to continue their
preparations for 2016 Rio Olympic.


When quizzed on why the sports ministry has
not come to the aid of the team who could be
thrown out of their hotel in Atlanta Georgia, due
to their inability to settle their bills, Dalung
stated categorically that he was never informed
of the tour.


“The issue of our U- 23 National team suffering
in the United States of America is news to me.
In fact I am hearing it from you (the media) for
the first time,” Dalung told media.


“They (Nigeria U23) didn’t tell us what they
were there for and who took them there. It
doesn’t mean that if somebody goes to the
market and has problem then you will come
and ask the ministry. The question is who took
them there? And what are they there for?


“Because they are U23 national team, they went
to the US and they are having problems, does
that become our business?


“When they were traveling to US from your
information, were you told we that we were
informed? Before you (the media) asked us to
account for something you should know
whether we are aware of it.


“If they are throwing them out of the hotel then
they should meet who took them there.
“They were supposed to be given a letter
approving they are travelling from the minister’s
office. Then if they ask me, I will tell you that I
approved it and this is the reason.”
