Team Nigeria athletes preparing for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, have showered praises on the National Sports Commission (NSC) for what they described as unprecedented support, quality preparation, and improved welfare ahead of the prestigious multi-sport event.
Speaking from their training camp in Aberdeen yesterday, Team Nigeria’s Captain and Paralympic champion, Folashade Oluwafemiayo, commended the Commission for creating a conducive environment that has allowed the athletes to focus fully on their preparations.
The world record holder described the NSC’s approach as athlete-centred, noting that the timely provision of training facilities, quality kits, improved welfare packages, accommodation, medical support, and overall logistics has significantly boosted the confidence and morale of the contingent.
“We are genuinely impressed with the level of preparation. The welfare has been excellent, our training facilities have been top quality, the kits are ready, and every athlete feels valued. The National Sports Commission has demonstrated a genuine commitment to ensuring that Team Nigeria is adequately prepared to compete at the highest level. We sincerely appreciate the leadership of the Commission for this remarkable support,” Oluwafemiayo said.
