Blessing Okagbare, Ese Bume and Tobi Amusan are among the overseas-based athletes who are at the Yaba College of Technology for the National Trials of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
The trials, which starts on Thursday (today), would be used to select athletes who would represent Nigeria at the Olympics, while those who are yet to meet the Olympics qualification standards also have the opportunity to do so at the event.
Our correspondent gathered that US-based Favour Ofili, Dotun Ogundeji, Sade Olatoye, Cici Onyekwere, Ashley Anumba and Annette Echikunwoke are also in Lagos.
Asides the overseas-based athletes, local athletes are also in Lagos for the trials.
