“We are in a country, where no one accounts for anything, and my major concern about this growing number of marathon races in Nigeria is for the innocent athletes, who will be subjected to rigorous training. They have no future advantage in this sport,” Adelabu, a sport scientist, told The Guardian, yesterday.
“You know that, generally, we think it is enough for us to participate or put up appearances in sports competitions and no one will question our motives. The government does not even understand the role of sports in national development,” Adelabu, who played club football with the IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan, stated.
“Between October 2022 to date, there have been several marathon or road races in various parts of Nigeria, including Bayelsa, Warri, Lagos and Jos. Other marathon races are being lined up in Abuja, Okpekpe in Edo State, Sagamu, Abeokuta and Remo in Ogun State.
