Godwin Obasogie (born January 25, 1954, in Benin City, Nigeria) is a Nigerian Olympian hurdler.
Obasogie was an All-American as a freshman at the University of Missouri in 1975. As a member of the Nigerian Olympic team in 1976, he ran the 110m Hurdles.[1]
Obasogie lived in St. Louis, Missouri and ran alongside teammate Dele Udo in college. In 1980, he spoke to the Post-Bulletin to confirm Udo's identity after another athlete claimed to have run under his name at the Olympics.[2]
