The Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) may be held accountable for omitting Favour Ofili's name from the list of Team Nigeria athletes set to compete in the women's 100m race at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Ofili was supposed to compete in both the 100m and 200m events in Paris, but the 21-year-old announced late Tuesday night that she was not registered with World Athletics for the 100m, so she would only compete in the 200m.
“I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to register me,” she said. “If those responsible are not held accountable for taking this opportunity from me, neither organisation can ever be trusted in the future!”
