Meet Nigeria’s First athlete At The Rio Olympics Games

US-based Chierika Ukogu will be making history at the 2016 Olympics Games, being the first rower to represent Nigeria.
Born on October 1992, Okogu, who is a graduate of Stanford University, said in a recent interview that the sport had been challenging but she will put in her best, adding that her training with members of the U.S. team at the Vesper Boathouse at Schuylkill, Philadelphia had helped develop her skills.
