Nigeria may miss out of the World Athletics Relays due to the crisis rocking the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
Nigeria was meant to send in representatives in the 4x100m and 4x400m men and women's competitions but reports indicate that none have been sent thus far.
The Ibrahim Gusau-led AFN had fixed March 29 and 30 for the national trials at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt which was to serve as qualifiers for the WA Relays.
It was also qualifiers for the World Athletics U-20 Championships (Nairobi), 22nd CAA African Senior Athletics Championships (Algiers) and CAA Region II Championships, Kaduna.
The trials were however postponed over allegations of "interference" from the sports ministry, made by AFN.
The AFN and the supervisory sports ministry had been at loggerheads after a faction led by Olamide George, the federation's vice president, suspended Gusau, who then declared autonomy from the sports ministry in December 2019.
The WA Relays is slated to hold in Silesia, Poland between May 1 and 2, but Nigerian athletes may not be able to compete as the country is yet to send in its representatives for the event.
