More than 120 technical officials who will officiate during the Africa Youth Athletics Championships in Warri will begin a two day training and refresher course today in the oil city of Nigeria.

’’It is meant to prepare them for championships in Warri,’’ Commodore Omatseye Nesiama, the Technical Director of AFN said.

Two IAAF lecturers, prof. Lucas Ogunjimi and Alex Onyewenwa and two CAA delegates, Vivian Gungaram and Aziz Dauda from Mauritius and Morocco respectively will come from Mauritius to handle the course. Nesiama is the facilitator.

’’This is good for the event, it is also good for Nigerian officials who will benefit from the refresher course,’’ Yusuf Ali, a track and field buff said
