The coordinator of the meeting, Tom Nnakwe said all Nigerians who have the desire to see the sport grow are being expected at the gathering, billed for the Conference hall of the National Stadium Abuja package B complex on April 5.

We are talking about athletes, coaches, administrators and every Nigerian who is genuinely interested in the rebirth of athletics in Nigeria.

“It is not a meeting where we would shout and apportion blames, but to chart a way forward for our sports for the interest of Nigerian youths who are wishing to use the sport as a spring board,” a former Nigerian international athlete disclosed yesterday.
