DHQ Clarifies Facts About Canada Visas Denials to Invictus Games

Furthermore, the participation of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, would have added mental strength to our troops.

Published

The Director of Defence Information, Brigadier -General Tukur Gusau, Defence Headquarters, this morning, presented the fact regarding Nigeria Military’s request for visas to attend Invictus Games in Canada.

In a statement,  Brig. Gen Gusau, said that the need for accurate information at this time can not be overemphasized.

He explained: “Recently, the Nigerian Military received an invitation to participate in the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada.

Our team, comprising 3 officers and 21 players, including a team physiotherapist, eagerly looked forward to this opportunity, as the only African nation participating in the Games.

The Invictus Games Foundation catered for our team’s accommodation and feeding needs, along with those of other participating nations.

However, despite our best efforts, only 14 members of the team, excluding the team leader, captain, and physiotherapist, were granted visas.

Regrettably, seven of our athletes who had the potential to excel were denied visas, preventing them from participating in the Games.

Notwithstanding this setback, our team’s outstanding performance earned Nigeria gold, silver and bronze medals, proudly placing our nation and Africa on the global map of Invictus Games.

Furthermore, the participation of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, would have added mental strength to our troops.

It is on record that the Chief of Defence Staff has initiated laudable efforts to boost the morale of our service personnel who risk their lives to protect our nation and its people.

The Invictus Foundation Centre,(first in Africa) currently under construction, is part of this initiative to provide care and mental healing for our wounded personnel.”
