What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The minister expressed his disappointment in a statement on Saturday on his X.com handle.

According to him, he had been working tirelessly to resolve the issue, as he engaged with officials from the Nigeria Olympic Committee and World Athletics.

Enoh’s statement partly read, “The 100m race got off to a start today, sadly without Favor Ofili. I was on the matter until the early hours of today, with the hope of giving Nigerians something to be happy about. From the moment I stated my position on this, officials of the NOC haven’t slept, they have been on their toes.

“The NOC President, Engr Habu Gumel, and his team kept vigil, traversing between the Director of Competition, the Technical Committee and the World Athletics. I have been duly informed that some other countries have similar issues, and these aforementioned bodies do not want to open a floodgate that would become difficult to manage.

“Howbeit, I am not concerned about other countries. My interest is with my own country Nigeria and who is responsible for the non-listing of Favor Ofili. Furthermore, I have been briefed that World Athletics submitted, that when the final list was published in July by it, AFN should have called its attention to the omission of Favor Ofili’s name. This still doesn’t address the issue.”
