Amusan, Abiola Onakoya set to host second Ijebu Sprint and Relays Meet
Tobi Amusan is set to gather athletes in Ogun State will converge, for the second edition of the TobiAmusan/Abiola Onakoya Ijebu Sprint and Relays Meet.
According to a statement issued on Monday, between 3-4 November, young athletes from all the nooks and crannies of Ogun State will converge on the iconic Otunba Dipo Dina stadium, Ijebu-Ode, for the second edition of the Tobi Amusan/Abiola Onakoya Ijebu Sprint and Relays Meet.
This edition has the support of the Governor of Ogun State Dapo Abiodun who named Amusan Ogun State Youth Ambassador after she broke the 100m hurdles record at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene.
Amusan and Abiola Onakoya are beneficiaries of youth development programmes in Ogun State which led to their discovery as young athletes. They both got scholarships to study at the University of El-Paso, in Texas, USA.
Before they graduated from the school, both represented Team Nigeria at the youth, junior, and senior levels.
After winning laurels for Nigeria and being a good ambassador of the country, they believe the best way they could give back to their community is to give younger ones opportunities.
