Tokyo 2025: NSC Intervenes in AFN-Athletes Dispute

Posted : 16 September 2025

The National Sports Commission (NSC) on Tuesday announced its successful intervention in resolving recent disputes within Team Nigeria’s camp at the ongoing 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

 

Led by Chairman Shehu Dikko and Director General Bukola Olopade, the NSC confirmed that all outstanding allowances and bonuses for athletes had been paid. During a crucial meeting with the athletes and AFN officials, Olopade reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare and well-being of Nigerian athletes at all times.

 

Olopade emphasized that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms in sports administration—particularly the establishment of the NSC—were designed to end past misunderstandings and ensure athletes receive proper support. He also urged the athletes to remain patriotic, reminding them that they are ambassadors of Nigeria on and off the track.

 

The Tokyo Championships have already provided memorable highlights for Nigeria, with rising star Kayinsola Ajayi making history as the first Nigerian in 18 years to reach the men’s 100m final, while Tobi Amusan clinched silver in the women’s 100m hurdles with a time of 12.24s.
