Also making a first appearance at the Winter Olympics is Simidele Adeagbo, who became the first African woman to qualify for the Skeleton category.
President of BSFN, Solomon Ogba, applauded Travelstart and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for identifying with the federation.
“We salute Travelstart and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for identifying with Nigeria’s Bobsled Team. It is a novel initiative to partner these history-making Nigerians.
“The federation is proud of this development and it can only get better. Be assured that our team is ready to achieve more in PyeongChang. We salute Nigerians for the support so far,†Ogba said thursday.
BSFN broadcast partner, Kwese, will showcase the Nigerian team on Kwese Free Sports.
