Tunisia, Algeria, Kenya and Senegal are the other countries ahead of Nigeria at the moment.
NSC’s Director-General, Dr Pat Ekeji however, said yesterday that there is nothing to worry about over the medals table as the games is only beginning to gather momentum. He noted that events where Nigeria has strength are yet to hot up.
