Benefits of the training camo listed by organizers includes professional master’s one-point lessons, joint training with Korea Elite Training teams, donation of taekwondo training materials, souvenirs and camp certificate.

The taekwondo duo will be welcomed in the Taekwondo camp by three-time Olympian, Chika Chukwumerije, who was already in South Korea to complete a World Taekwondo Educator Certification Program.

Speaking on the event, the President of the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation, Mrs Margaret Elizabeth Binga, thanked the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria and the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation for the initiative.

“There has been a warm relationship between the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria going back to the 1980s and this program is, once again, another example of the benefits of our bi-lateral relationships. So we are grateful to His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria and the Secretary-General of the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation, Mr Kook Hyun Jung, for this wonderful opportunity to expose our young and talented athletes in an international quality camp of this nature. It is a great development for Nigeria Taekwondo.”

Binga encouraged the athletes to give a good account of the themselves on and off the court.

The trip was sanctioned by the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation and facilitated by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nigeria, while the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation supported all the participants by paying 20% of the minimum airfare, as well as providing free accommodation and feeding.

A total of 40 slots were available to athletes from 129 countries. Thus, the two Nigerian athletes who recently bagged gold medals at the Nigeria International Taekwondo Open, meet with 38 other international athletes from around the globe.
