Technical Director, Athletics Federation of Nigeria, Gabriel Okon, says the National Sports Commission should take concrete steps in providing sufficient financial support for the development of Nigerian Athletes.
He faulted the excuses of “lack of funds” frequently given by some government officials.
In a statement on Monday, he described the excuses as retrogressive for the growth and development of athletics in the country.
Okon, who just returned from the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, said Nigeria must adopt more sustainable funding model if its athletes were to compete favourably on the world stage.
