In his words , “This is indeed a new dawn for Track and Field in Nigeria as exemplified  by the way you conducted your elections strictly  in accordance  with the 2017  constitution  of your Federation  as recommended  by both World Atheletics  and the Confederation  of African Athletics.

“This shows a new seed of hope has germinated to replace  some of the rotten  seeds  sowed some four years ago.

“You must avoid the pitfall of the past and  follow not just the constitution of the AFN, but also work within the laws of our sovereign country, Nigeria".

Dare assured that  the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development will continue to support the newly elected executive to take the AFN to  greater height.

Chief Okowa in his acceptance speech, thanked the Ministry, while reiterating his commitment to make the welfare of athletes, coaches and officials as priority as well as to unite the Federation, devoid of sentiments.
