“She’s our daughter. We love her so much and I’ve always said we must speak to her to come home. I am urging Ofili and those close to her that home is waiting for her.”
“Don’t be dejected or angry. Know that we love you and we still want you back. We promise you all the support that you require to shine at the Olympics in two years’ time,” Hon. Olopade added.
The NSC recognizes the complexities athletes face in making career decisions and reiterates its commitment to fostering a supportive and enabling environment where talents like Ofili can excel at the highest level.
