United States-based Performance Director of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), Victor Okorie, will lead the last two track
Nigerian athletes during a track event. The AIU is demanding answers from the AFN over age discrepancies in four Nigerian athletes set to compete in the World U20 Championships.
Team Nigeria moved into the training camp in Germany, last week, but the duo of Ella Onojuvwevwo and Tima Godbless are yet to join the squad. “There is a difference between a team’s psychologist and building psychology on athletes ahead of major championships. There will be no conflict of interest as far as I am concerned as the Performance Director of AFN. We all have different roles to play and we are working towards achieving one main goal in Paris.”
