Chioma Nwachukwu Leads Nigeria’s 1-2 Finish in U18 Women’s 400m Final

Nigeria’s Chioma Nwachukwu was the star of the U18 women’s 400m final at the African U18 & U20 Championships in Abeokuta, delivering a brilliant performance to secure gold and inspire a 1-2 finish for Team Nigeria.

Nwachukwu, who appeared overwhelmed with joy—perhaps from shyness or sheer disbelief—crossed the line first, with Hafsoh Majekodunmi following closely behind to claim silver, marking another successful outing for Nigeria’s young athletics team.


The duo are not done yet. Both athletes are set to return to the track for the Sprint Medley Relay, where they will aim to add more medals to Nigeria’s growing tally at the championship.

Their performances continue to reflect the strength of Nigeria’s emerging talent on the continental stage.
