“The experience I had last year at the world junior championships in Kenya was good, the fact it was my first international outing representing Nigeria and I had a pb in the 200m which is also a national record for the junior category. This season we hope to go all out and put up the best show and beam the faces of Nigerians with smiles.”

“There is the no pressure ahead of the championship because we (athletes) are going the competition in good spirit and we are also anticipating a good outing. We are training well in camp and we are best of the best in the events in the nation. I’m hoping for a better outing than the last one we had last year in the Kenya.”

“When it was announced that I was going to be the captain of team Nigeria for the world Junior Championships in cali, I was surprised about it and also happy.”
