From April 14, four coaches and 18 judokas will move into camp at the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan to begin the second phase of the build-up to the Games which will take place in Birmingham’ in the United Kingdom from July 28th to August 8th.

According to a Press release issued by the spokesman to the President of the NJF, Mr. Ikpo Igbinoba in Lagos on Monday, the judokas invited were those who survived the trials held in Lagos from February 22nd to 25th.

Mr. Igbinoba explained that the President of the federation, Dr. Musa Oshodi opted for early camping for the Commonwealth Games because he was desirous of a historic outing for Nigeria.
