President Bola Tinubu congratulated Team Nigeria for winning 24 medals at the recently concluded 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, where Team Nigeria clinched 10 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze medals.
This was made known in a statement issued by President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement reads in part, “Whether on the podium or through courageous performances in the competition, every member of Team Nigeria has represented our nation with honour, dignity, and pride.
“On behalf of the Government and the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I express profound appreciation to our athletes, coaches, technical officials, medical personnel, administrators, and all those whose dedication and sacrifice made Nigeria’s participation at the Games possible.
“My administration remains steadfast in its resolve to invest in sports development, strengthen our sporting institutions, improve training facilities, and create greater opportunities for our talented athletes to excel on the continental and global stage.”
Team Nigeria was ranked seventh at the competition and was the best from Africa, ahead of South Africa and Kenya.
