Nigeria has won all available gold medals in the women’s category of the inaugural CISM World Military Beach Wrestling Championship in Lagos.
The Nigerian team emerged as overall female champions with 100 points at the CISM World Military Beach Wrestling Championship, which brought together military athletes from several countries.
The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, said military sports go beyond medals, describing them as a tool for building character, strengthening professional relationships and promoting friendship among nations.
The Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Air Vice Marshal Babatunde Philips, said the friendships forged among participating countries were one of the championship’s major achievements.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigerian Armed Forces to use military sports to promote international cooperation, physical fitness and global peace.
