NSC Welcomes Favor Ofili Back to Nigeria National Team

The Nigeria Sports Commission (NSC), through its Director General, Hon. Bukola Olopade, has expressed a strong desire to welcome Nigerian sprint sensation Favor Ofili back to the national team.

This statement follows World Athletics' decision to deny Ofili's request for a transfer of allegiance. Olopade emphasized that Nigeria fully supports Ofili and is eager for her return, highlighting her connection to the country as a daughter who has always spoken fondly of home.

He urged Ofili not to feel dejected or angry, assuring her of the NSC's commitment to provide the necessary support for her to excel, especially with the upcoming Olympics in two years. Olopade also acknowledged the complexities athletes face in making career decisions and reiterated the NSC's dedication to fostering an environment that enables Nigerian talent to succeed on the global stage.
