Former Technical Director of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), Sunday Adeleye, has officially declared his intention to contest for the presidency of the Federation, as the race for the top position intensifies ahead of the AFN elections next month.

Adeleye, a former national athlete, brings years of administrative experience to the contest, having previously served as the athletes’ representative on the AFN board.


He also worked as Executive Assistant to former Sports Minister John Enoh and continues to serve in a similar role under the Minister of State for Industry.


With this declaration, Adeleye joins a growing list of contenders, including incumbent President Tonobok Okowa, former AFN President Ibrahim Gusau and retired Navy Commodore Omatseye Nesiama, also a former Technical Director of the AFN.
