The Athletic Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has postponed Pastor Olukoya U-16, U-18 Athletics Championships by a day due to the shift in the general elections last Saturday. The elections will now hold on Monday.
A statement signed by the AFN scribe, Maria Wophill, said that the events earlier billed for 5th and 6th will now hold on 6th and 7th at the same same venue.
She said the postponement became inevitable so as to allow participants arrive venue of the championship unhindered.
While regretting the inconveniences that the postponement might cause, she said, “the shift in the dates is necessary to enable participants coming from other states of the Federation travel to Lagos on Tuesday since there will be no movement on Monday 4th April.”
