Sequel to the rumors making the rounds, it is pertinent to bring updates from the AFN regarding preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Home-based athletes are currently in camp and preparing for the World Relays in the Bahamas, scheduled for the 4th and 5th of May.
The American embassy in Abuja has scheduled dates for interviews with the athletes and officials.
The sports ministry understands the importance of attending the world relays, given Nigeria's position among the 32 nations qualified for the relays in the Bahamas, hence the funding by the ministry.
Furthermore, regarding the debt owed by the previous administration, the Honorable Minister of Sports Development, in his proactive and intentional leadership style, has directed that all outstanding debts be submitted to his office for attention.
A prime focus of the federation is getting the athletes tested for the first compulsory three out-of-competition tests, which must be conducted before the 3rd of May.
As a federation, we thank the NOC president, Engr. Habu Gumel, for providing the necessary assistance to the AFN for the processing of American visas.
Our athletes are focused, achieving personal bests and season bests, ensuring that Nigeria, our country, qualifies for all five relays.
There is absolutely no cause for alarm as our athletes are very ready and in high spirits.
