Nigeria's medal prospect Favour Ofili is set to miss the 100m event at the 2024 Olympic Games following the Athletics Federation of Nigeria's (AFN) failure to register her.

Ofili announced the unfortunate incident via a post on Instagram, expressing her disappointment in the AFN as she is set to miss the 100m event for the second consecutive time under dubious circumstances.

"It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 meters at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter my name. I have worked for 4 years to earn this opportunity. For what….to not be entered and compete at the Olympic Games because the responsible organization failed to enter me?," she wrote in the lengthy message.

She further revealed the bizarre reason behind missing the Olympic Games back in 2020.

"Please remember, in the last Olympic Games I was not able to compete because AFN, NADC and NOC failed to release funds for athletes in the USA to be tested, which made 14 Nigerian athletes that qualified to not compete. Now THIS……..

Ofili continued by calling for the individuals in charge of the registration of athletes to be held responsible for their negligence.

"If those responsible are NOT held accountable for taking this opportunity from me, neither organization can EVER be trusted in the future!" Next one is the 200meters,
I HOPE IM ENTERED."

With Ofili missing out on the 100m event, Nigeria will count on Tima Godbless and Rosemary Chukwuma for a medal.

Favour Ofili, Africa's 200m record holder, still has a chance to make her Olympic debut in the 200m event if she gets registered.
