Nigeria’s first individual Olympic gold medallist, Chioma Ajunwa, has condemned the failure of sports administrators following the reported nationality switch of top sprinter Favour Ofili from Nigeria to Turkey.
Reacting to the growing trend of elite athletes dumping Nigeria for other nations, Ajunwa said the mass exodus reflected deeply rooted leadership failures within the country’s sports federations.
“The Nigerian sports federation needs a lot of work,” Ajunwa posted on her official X account.
