With only a few hours to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, Nigeria’s sprint hurdler and former world champion Tobi Amusan has openly criticized the Nigerian government over the poor quality of kits provided to athletes representing the country.
In a video shared on her Snapchat, Amusan expressed her frustration at what she described as “unprofessionalism and lack of coordination” within the federation.
According to her, unlike other countries that supply their athletes with complete kits packaged in suitcases, Nigerian athletes are handed theirs in nylon bags, often with very little inside.
“This country will steadily embarrass you. Una come say make people nor switch allegiance? Una never ready. No singlets. Nothing!” she lamented.
Amusan further noted that while Jamaica has also faced some logistical issues with its athletes, the Nigerian case was far worse.
Her comments have once again sparked debate about Nigeria’s preparedness and commitment to supporting its athletes on the global stage.
