President of the Nigeria School Sports Federation, Olabisi Joseph, has assured that the body will maximise the potential of students at the second World School Athletics trials, which gets underway on Wednesday (today) in Abeokuta, The PUNCH reports.

“So, we expect a lot of new crops of talents, we expect to discover exceptional kids who will use this platform to showcase their talents and we also expect to see coaches who will be able to develop the skills of these kids. And possibly, we will have some scouts to come see the children.

“Already, we have informed the federal ministry of education and the ministry of sports, the NOC, the AFN to be part of this and we expect they’ll be around to come and encourage the children.” She also noted that the officiating of the trials will be in line with global best practices, so as to prepare the athletes for what to come.

“For all our events, we ensure that the standard is there, especially that it’s an international event qualifier where we will have winners represent Nigerian. So, we are using the recognised officials. And also, the NSSF athletics committee will be working with them. And of course, we will use the electronic timing machine photo finish, which is of international standard,” she noted.All rights reserved.
