The Investigative Committee formed to address Nigeria’s negative exposure at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games has officially submitted a comprehensive report, revealing critical insights into the issues surrounding Nigerian athletes. In a 54-page document, the committee highlighted the conflicting evidence regarding Favour Ofili’s omission from the women’s 100 meters event, pointing to potential lapses by various organizations, including the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC).

While the investigation found insufficient evidence to wrongly indict any specific organization, it concluded that AFN Secretary General Rita Mosindi displayed negligence in communicating Favour Ofili’s event status. The report recommends penalties for Mosindi and suggests that AFN’s Technical Director, Samuel Onikeku, should be sanctioned for failing to act on information regarding Ofili’s registration. The committee also urged the AFN to compensate Ofili for the distress caused by her omission, alongside calls for better governance and transparency among sports bodies in Nigeria.
