One of the highlights so far has been Rafiatu Folashade Lawal’s sensational defence of her Commonwealth Games title in the women’s 58kg weightlifting event. The momentum has since shifted to athletics, where Team Nigeria has already begun making significant impact. Obiageri Amaechi will compete in the women’s discus throw final, where she will attempt to secure another podium finish for Team Nigeria. Other athletes expected to compete include Jami Schlueter, Unyima Uwak and Oyindamola Tijani as Team Nigeria seeks to maximise every medal opportunity available. Officials remain optimistic that the combination of experienced campaigners such as Amusan, Enekwechi and Nathaniel, alongside emerging stars like Ajayi, Chukwuka and Onwuzurike, can deliver another successful day for Team Nigeria.
