AFN Boss Okowa: Fund Athletics or Lose Stars

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has warned that poor funding is forcing Nigerian athletes to switch national allegiance.

President of AFN, Chief Tonobok Okowa, raised the alarm during the All Nigeria Athletics Trials in Lagos, citing sprinter Favour Ofili’s reported move to Turkey.

He appealed for government and corporate sponsorship to support training, welfare and competitions, warning that without investment, more stars will be lost to other countries.
