Team Nigeria loses its number one position on the medals table to South Africa and Kenya at the 2019 African U-18/U-20 Athletics Championship, which ends today in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Nigerian athletes rose above the hardship they faced en route the competition by topping the medals table on day three, but they fell to the third spot yesterday.
But as at the time of this report yesterday, Team Nigeria was still hopeful of over powering South Africa and Kenya on the medals table. Meanwhile, Nigerian athletes seem not bothered over the inability of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria to pay them allowances at the competition.
