The highest Nigeria has ended on the medals table prior to this event was seventh-place finish at the third edition of the championships in 1990 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria where they won two gold, two silver and two bronze medals.
The four gold medals won championships in Nairobi, Kenya is the highest Nigeria has won, two more than the country has ever won in any edition of the championships.
