Nigeria has won her first Gold at the Paralympic Games holding in Tokyo, Japan.

The Paralympic Games (or Paralympics) is a series of International contests for athletes with disabilities that are associated with and held following the summer and winter Olympic Games.

The event which commenced on August 24 will come to a close on September 5, 2021.
