Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has felicitated world-class sprinter and new world record holder, Tobi Amusan.
In a statement, Governor Abiodun described Amusan’s feat at the 2022 World Athletics Championship, held in Eugene, Oregon, USA was heart-warming and a thing of pride to the black race, Nigeria and Ogun State in particular.
While saying that Amusan’s victory was another superlative record from an Ogun State indigene, Governor Abiodun said the world-class sprinter had reconfirmed the State’s standard of excellence in sports.
The Ogun helmsman said Amusan’s victory was compensation for a disappointing outing in Tokyo last year where she finished fourth in the final despite being touted to take one of the medals.
He urged Amusan to turn her attention to the Commonwealth Games that will begin on Thursday, July 28th where she is also the defending champion.
Governor Abiodun also said that his administration would continue to put in place infrastructure and incentives to encourage talented athletes.
