The National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) has attributed the sterling performances of Tobi Amusan at the World Athletics Championship, held in Eugene, Oregon, USA and the Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, United Kingdom to the unalloyed support given to her by Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun.

While describing Amusan as a beacon of hope to Nigerian youths, Ogunrombi urged other youths to emulate Amusan’s “never say never” attitude and contribute their quotas to the development of the State.
