Athletics Federation of Nigeria President, Solomon Ogba has said that the latest timing device has been acquired for the Africa Youth Athletics
Championships, AYAC 2013, holding in Warri from March 27 to March 31.
He was delighted about the high standards expected in the
organization of the maiden event of the youths competition in Africa .
’’We just bought a Timetronics device for the Warri
event. It is the first time that we will be using EDM (Estimated Distance
Measurement) device in Nigeria .
I am happy that we are moving forward and AYAC 2013 will be of high standards,’’

like Long Jump, Javelin etc.

have it now in Nigeria ,’’
