One of Nigeria’s medal prospect at the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics, Favour Ofili, would not be participating in the women’s 100m athletics event as the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) failed to formally register her for the event she was qualified to compete in.

Ofili, who disclosed this on her X handle, said the failure of AFN, NOC and the National Anti-Doping Committee (NADC) to register her for the event has cost her the opportunity to compete in the 100m race just like at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where she and other athletes were not able to compete due to the failure of AFN and other relevant authorities to release funds for test at the time.

Ofili was supposed to fly Nigeria’s flag along with Tima Godbless and Rosemary Chukwuma in the 100m race when the athletics events begin on Thursday.

“It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 meters at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter my name. I have worked for 4 years to earn this opportunity. For what…to not be entered and compete at the Olympic Games because the responsible organization failed to enter me,” Ofili wrote on her X handle.

“Please remember, in the last Olympic Games I was not able to compete because AFN, NADC and NOC failed to release funds for athletes in the USA to be tested, which made 14 Nigeria I athletes that qualified to not compete. Now THIS…….If those responsible are NOT held accountable for taking this opportunity from me, neither organization can EVER be trusted in the future!”
