By |
Queen of the Track Blessing Okagbare has rescinded her decision to not participate in the All Africa Games and has decided she will meet up with the team in Congo.
“We are expecting Okagbare and some other athletes to link up with us in Congo,” AFN technical director Omatseye Nesiama said.
Blessing Okagbare’s decision to join the team comes after the National Sports Commission threatened that any artistes who skipped out on the All Africa Games would be exempted from the 2016 Olympics.
