“It also gives soldiers awareness and recognition in society to support their path in rehabilitation. The Invictus Games had about 500 participants at the last outing and 21 nations in attendance, including Nigeria which made a head ways with gold and Bronze at its first outing last year,” he further recalled.
The visit, he said is to consolidate Nigeria’s stronghold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event in later years.
The Honourable Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru who was in Germany at last year’s event, has accepted to host the games when granted to Nigeria.
