Tokyo Olympics: What a shame! Nigeria’s medal hopeful in “wash and wear” of only jersey ahead of shot put final! Video👇

Chukwuebuka Enekwechi, Nigeria’s shot put athlete is in a bizarre condition ahead of his shot put final event at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics in Japan.

The shot put athlete in a video currently making the rounds on the internet revealed that he only has one jersey which he has to wash at night before he competes the following day.

Nigerian athletes have been complaining about the deplorable condition of their welfare since the commencement of the Olympics.

Basketball player, Chimezie Metu, sprint queen, Blessing Okagbare among others also complained about the challenges of Nigerian athletes at the Olympics.

Nigerian authorities couldn't provide Chukwuebuka with another jersey to wear in the final.

Recall that 10 athletes were barred from participating in their various events due to the non-compliance of the Out-Of-Competition drug test.

The Sports Minister, Mr. Sunday Dare has according to reports repeatedly refused to respond to questions as regards the welfare of the Nigerian athletes.
