Nigeria Wrestling Federation President, Daniel Igali is confident the sport will deliver at the 2018 Commonwealth Games after Nigeria finished with 1 Gold, 2 silver and a bronze at the Commonwealth wrestling championship in South Africa.

Nigeria participated with a small contingent due to paucity of funds; and Igali had once referred to them as the “Orphans of Nigerian Sport”.

Igali believes the achievement of the Wrestlers in South Africa is an indication of how well the Federation can at the Games in Australia.
