Nigerian track and field star Favour Ofili has officially announced she will now be representing Turkey in international competitions.
The 200m specialist, who has been a prominent figure in Nigerian athletics, announced this on her social media, stating it was "a new chapter" in her career.
Ofili's switch comes as a blow to Nigeria's track team, with the athlete having previously achieved significant success, including becoming a two-time NCAA champion.
The move is not uncommon for African athletes seeking better training facilities and support from other countries, and her departure sparks a conversation about Nigeria's investment in its sports infrastructure.
