AFN Addresses Team Nigeria's Kit Controversy at 2025 WAC in Tokyo

The Athletics Federation Nigeria (AFN) addressed the controversy surrounding Team Nigeria's kit at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. World Record holder Tobi Amusan expressed disappointment over the team's kit in a viral video, highlighting the lack of coordination within AFN.

AFN President Tonobok Okowa refuted the allegations, stating that Nigerian athletes were adequately equipped with the necessary provisions.
