The President gave the charge this Thursday at the State House in Abuja while receiving the athletes and officials before their departure for the Games, with Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila representing him.
Tinubu warned the athletes against doping, urging them to rely on talent, discipline and hard work, while reminding them that they carry the hopes and expectations of millions of Nigerians.
