Quite a number of athletes are been expected in today’s AFN/Solid Works golden league in Akure, Ondo State. This is with the intention of making a good performance that may qualify them for the 2014 Commonwealth Games trials next month and also win a slice of the N2m jackpot.

Athletics Federation of Nigeria secretary-general, Bamidele Bamiduro disclosed that there was a lot of entries for the meet at Federal University of Technology Akure sports ground, adding that everything has been adequately provided for to make the athletes’ stay comfortable.

“We expect a very keenly contest golden league meet. The federation received quite a number of entries from the athletes.

“The Ondo State government has kindly supported us with accommodation. And every other need has been taken care of and so we expect a good outing,” said Mr. Bamiduro.

Most of the star athletes however, are in the US training ahead of the World Relays, but junior athletes like Omezia Akerele, Divine Oduduru and Ese Brume who have been holding sway are expected to maintain the lead, they established from the previous meet in Ilorin.
