The head coach of the Nigerian volleyball team. Samuel Ajayi has said is focusing on getting Team Nigeria to the podium.

The Nigerian side finished 4th in the last edition of the games in Rabat, Morocco but the coach is sounding confident ahead of the serve-off.

As I have always said, no commander wants to lead an army to the war to lose,” he said.

“For what the federation has been able to do, keeping us in camp for three weeks before the Ministry took over, shows that the federation wants us to actualise the task that they have given us and it gives us enough room to look at the players before selecting the final 12.

“I believe that with the selected 12 players, and with luck on our side, we will be able to finish on the podium because that is our target and I believe that with everything we have done, we deserve to be on the podium”, he added.
