Alli urged other privileged athletes with contacts and financial muscle to emulate Amusan and Onakoya and help develop the sport at the grassroots so as to give opportunities to younger ones.
He spoke against the backdrop of a newspaper publication that he has been nominated to an athletics committee.
In a statement signed by Olukayode Thomas, Head Communications and Media, Lagos City Marathon, Alli said his purported ambition to contest to be a board member of AFN and vie for the federation presidency is the imagination of mischief-makers.
Alli said he was very excited that the equipment delivered for Asaba 2018 are the best available anywhere in the world and some even surpass the required standard to host the African championship.
