Falilat Ogunkoya, a Nigerian athlete and Olympic medalist, has criticized the outgoing President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), Dan Ngerem, for his failure to develop athletics in the country. Ogunkoya claims that Ngerem's arrogance and refusal to learn from others were responsible for his failure, and that his campaign to take athletics out of the woods over the last three years yielded no results because he received no support from the Sports Ministry or the private sector. She also accuses Ngerem of using personal money to run the affairs of the federation.
