The Minister of Sports and Youths Development in Nigeria, Honourable Sunday Dare, has commended Tobi Amusan for her performance so far in the current Tokyo Olympics, adding that still remains one of Nigeria’s greatest competitors in athletics.

The Minister stated this in reaction to  Amusan’s 4th place finish at the women’s 100m hurdles final.

“Tobi Amusan still remains one of Nigeria’s greatest competitors in athletics. She gave a good account of herself. We celebrate her exploits.

“The important thing to note is that many of our top athletes made it and are still making it to the finals in many events particularly here at the Olympics; a competition of huge magnitude where winners are separated in milliseconds. This in itself is an achievement and proof that we are in the committee of the best in respect to many sports in the world.

“This is a new and young generation that will be world beaters anyhow. We still hold hopes for medals in the remaining events we are taking part in”. The Minister concluded.
