Nigeria’s Invictus Team has applauded the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor, for approving sports as a tool for recovery and reintegration of wounded Nigerian soldiers back into the society.
The team leader, Ojey Bobby, gave the commendation after watching the wounded soldiers play a thrilling sitting volleyball match with Team FCT who are the West African champions
at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja to commemorate the 2023 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration.
Bobby said the game shows the power of sports in recovery, noting that the wounded members of the military team, including those whose legs were amputated in theatres of operations, now have a wider understanding of why they need to recover and adjust to their new lifestyle.
