The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) announced the squad, which comprises 25 female and 20 male athletes.

Amusan will lead the women's roster alongside Rosemari Chukwuma, who is expected to compete in the women's 100m hurdles, and Adaobi Tabugbo and Janet Sundai, who will feature in the women's 4x100m relay team.
