The former triple jump Athlete stated this on Monday in Abuja, shortly after she was elected as 2nd Vice President of AFN. She said that, if all hands are on deck, the Country will provide Athletes better than Jamaica sprinter, Usain Bolt.
According to her, I believe if we all work together, we will make it, we are not going to put sentiment of one person is from this regions or not; if we all come together, definitely we are going to challenge America in Athletics, we have good athletes here, we have “Usain Bolt” among us and I believe that if we work together, we will produce more and more Usain Bolt in this country.
Speaking on the Olympics, Collins expressed; “Yes we have a very high spirit of performance, we believe that we will make it and we will come home with some medals.
“The Board that led before was like a disaster, I was also part of that Board, I wasn’t carried along and our ideas was pushed apart, if I have an idea and you don’t bring me close to you, I will never share my ideas because my ideas means a lot to this Federation as a former athlete, not ordinary athlete; a former triple jump athlete,.
“All board members will be carried along, so whatever idea you have, bring it, we are going to support the new President.” She said.
