Amusan's Kit Dispute Sparks Controversy with AFN at World Championships
Oluwatobi Amusan, the world record holder in the women's 100-meter hurdles, became embroiled in a public dispute with the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) during the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Amusan shared a video expressing frustration over receiving inadequate competition gear, including shoes, in a plastic bag instead of a proper kit.
This incident reignited past grievances with the AFN's administration, leading to public criticism of the Federation's handling of athlete equipment. AFN President Tonobok Okowa refuted Amusan's claims, stating that the kit distribution was done in batches.
The incident highlighted ongoing issues within Nigerian athletics administration, with public reactions questioning the Federation's management and athlete welfare.
