The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has said that it will organise three U-13 athletics competition in three centres across Nigeria.    

This was one of the resolutions reached at its executive board meeting, held virtually last Saturday and presided over by Tafida Gadzama, its 1st Vice President. 

The competition will be funded by World Athletics under its Grant for Growth Under-13 National Athletics Competition project. 

The three centres are Abuja, Kaduna and Port Harcourt/Enugu. 

The AFN executive board also resolved to look into its finances, its income and expenditure since the start of 2023. 

This will be the first time in over two decades an executive board of the federation will probe its own activities to ensure transparency and accountability. 

The executive board appointed a five-member committee led by the 1st Vice President, Gadzama to look into the books of the federation since the start of this administration viz its income and expenditure and report their findings to the executive board. 

Other members of the committee include; Mrs Maria Worphil, Mr Victor Okorie, Mr Samuel Onikeku and Mr Dare Esan.
