A dedicated member of Team Nigeria to the forthcoming 3rd edition of the Confederation of the African Athletics, (CAA) U-18/U-20 Championships, Success Oyibu, is very confident in her and Nigeria’s readiness for the event.
Speaking for herself, young Success Uyibu says she will do everything within her power to make Nigeria proud at the championships, bringing glory and honour to her motherland.
On Wednesday she said in Abeokuta, “I’m feeling confident and focused, I’ve been working hard in training and I think mentally, I’m ready to compete at the big stage.”
The 2025 CAA U-18/U-20 Championships is scheduled to take place in Abeokuta, from the 16th of July, 2025 and ends on the 20th of the same month.
Over 700 athletes will be in attendance at the continental showpiece.
She stated that being a member of Team Nigeria is a thing of great joy for her.
“Qualifying for the CAA U-18/U-20 Championships was a high point for me, during the trials; I was prepared and focused on achieving what I came there for.”
She believes that her exceptional performance during the trials, clocking a time of 23.80s (-0.6) in the U-20 women’s 200m was the result of years of hard work and commitment.
She emphasized that her Coach, Oseyi Adima Aaron, has been of immense help to her, spurring her on, even in her lows, giving her the motivation to keep pushing.
“It was the combination of hard work and mental preparation, my coach, Oseyi Adima Aaron, had been working really hard, helping me to be more focused, and building my strengths. Immediately after I came back from the National Sports Festival, we started training, trying to work on speed and endurance, among others.”
She also praised the AFN President Tonobok Okowa.
“I want to thank him very much, for his effort for athletics in Nigeria. It’s an honour to represent Nigeria and I give God the glory for this opportunity, athletics lovers should look out for my determination, I’m ready to give my all for my career and my country.”
