Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili has been excluded from the 100m event at the Paris 2024 Olympics due to administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and the Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC). Despite qualifying for the event, Ofili’s name was not submitted by the officials, leaving her Olympic dreams in jeopardy.

Ofili, a medal hopeful for Nigeria, took to social media to express her frustration and disappointment at the incompetence of the AFN and NOC. She questioned the trustworthiness of both organizations, calling for accountability from those responsible for the blunder.

This is not the first time Ofili has faced issues due to administrative failures. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, she was also excluded from competing due to similar administrative issues. The repeat of such a mistake has left many questioning the competence of the AFN and NOC.

Ofili still holds onto hope of competing in the 200m event, for which she has also qualified. However, the uncertainty surrounding her participation has cast a shadow over her Olympic preparations.

The exclusion of Ofili from the 100m event has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for reforms within the AFN and NOC. The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency within Nigerian sports administration to prevent such blunders from occurring in the future.
