The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) on Monday released a
date for the 2016 All Nigeria Athletics Championships which will serves as
trial for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
In a statement signed by Head of Communication Media,
Olukayode Thomas said the federation did not at time fix a date being reported
by some online medium.j
“After our board meeting in Abuja last month, we approved
the 2016 plan designed by the technical committee. The technical committee
fixed the national championships for July 7-9 and the date has not changed’’.
Thomas implored those parading another date for the trial to
provide a written document from the AFN or verbal discuss with an authorized
official of the federation to back their claim.
“I am the only person authorized by the board of
AFN to speak to the media on behalf of the board, and I can say authoritatively
that we never issued a release on the date of the trial. I implore our media
friends to always cross check information with AFN before going to press’’ said
Thomas.
