Looking back at the excitement! Our esteemed AFN President Chief Tonobok Okowa joined the National Sports Commission (NSC) for a landmark Press Conference at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja. Held in partnership with World Athletics, the event unveiled the roadmap for the World Athletics Africa Running Conference - Lagos 2026.
The conference featured NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko, Director-General Hon. Bukola Olopade, and World Athletics Head of Road Running Alessio Punzi, alongside key stakeholders including NOC 1st Vice-President Chief Solomon Ogba and Yusuf Ali, CEO of the Elite Athletes Development and Podlum Board. Hon. Bukola Olopade highlighted the event’s focus on harnessing Nigeria’s long-distance and road-running potential, setting the stage for the Lagos City Marathon 2026. For NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko, this was a crucial milestone in fulfilling the President’s sports economy mandate and bringing global sporting events to Nigeria.

🇳🇬✨ Celebrating 65 Years of Strength, Unity & Progress

Today, we proudly celebrate Nigeria at 65, a nation built on resilience, hope, and the unstoppable spirit of her people.

As athletes push through the finish line with discipline and determination, so too has our country overcome challenges, striving toward greatness. At the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, we are inspired daily by the commitment of our athletes who continue to lift our flag high and remind us that Nigeria is indeed a land of champions.

This Independence Day, let us remember that our collective strides matter. Every effort, no matter how small, brings us closer to the Nigeria we all dream of, united, stronger, and unstoppable.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! 💚🤍💚
