Nigeria will be aiming to build on the impressive performances of some of its leading athletes, including Kanyinsola Ajayi, who currently holds the title of the world’s fastest man after clocking a personal best of 9.84 seconds to defeat reigning world champion Oblique Seville on his Diamond League debut two weeks ago, and Tobi Amusan, the women’s 100m hurdles world record holder with a time of 12.12 seconds.
