Nigeria's sports ministry has refused to take the Puma kits secured by the factional AFN board...................................
August 4, 2021While the medals have started trickling in for Team Nigeria at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics, the country has sadly found itself in another embarrassing but avoidable situation.
PREMIUM TIMES could not get the reaction of the sports ministry and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria at the time of this report. The ministry in a statement insisted that before Team Nigeria’s athletes are allowed to wear any foreign brand, it must sight and be privy to any agreement signed. However, Sunday Adeleye, former Technical Director of the AFN, insists the federation has a subsisting contract with Puma, a global name in sportswear manufacturing.
