Nimrod stated this when he visited the team at the National Stadium Package B, Abuja.
He commended the Nigeria Customs Service for investing heavily in volleyball, just as he promised to give them the necessary support.
He urged the Customs team to give their best at the tournament by going beyond the quarter finals.
"It is worrisome that Kenya, Cameroon and other countries are going to challenge for the trophy, while Nigeria are not able to be in this level. I am aware of the plans of the Nigeria Customs for volleyball and I want you [players] to protect the interest of Nigeria at the Championships.
"You are not only representing the Customs Service but Nigeria as a whole; remain consistent and make sure you get to the final. You need to sacrifice for the country; remain calm in the camp and go for gold," Nimrod said as he added that the level of preparation for the tourney in Egypt is in top notch.
Meanwhile, newly-appointed female coach, Sunny Yunana hailed Nimrod for his unflinching support for the development of volleyball.
He said the presence of Nimrod was a morale booster for the players ahead of the African championships.
"We really want to appreciate the sports officer for making sure we began camping early enough and the Federation President [Nimrod] for his fatherly role in the transformation of volleyball in Nigeria. we promise to make the nation proud in Egypt,” Yunana said.
