The championship will take place from August 22 to August 30 in Beijing and Nigeria’s team 14 women and three men would jostle for laurels on behalf of the country at the event.
On why only 17 athletes would be representing Nigeria, Nesiama said: “We decided to send a more compact team in order not to just go for a jamboree.
“In addition, we wanted the athletes that have more potential to win laurels mainly at the AAG to avoid distraction of the World Championships and concentrate more on the Games.
“We also paid serious consideration to the athletes’ current form especially in the individual events.”
