The Nigeria Olympic Committee in collaboration with the Nigeria Sport For All Commission, will organize the 2022 edition of Olympic Day celebration on Saturday, 29th June, 2024 in Nigeria.
Olympic Day is a date for people of all ages and all abilities to experience some of the magic of the Olympic Games in their own communities. Olympic Day celebration is an annual event that will take place in all over the world in the month of June.
The Secretary-General of NOC, Babatunde Popoola, emphasised that the event is an ideal platform to highlight the benefits of physical activity which allows people to learn about Olympic values and to put them into practice in their everyday life. Engaging in exercises promotes health fitness for individuals. Jogging and walking burns calories, tones muscles, shapes your body and helps de-stress your mind.
Olympic Day has always been celebrated by the NOC with fanfare nationwide and this years programme will not be an exception as many states are already preparing to organise the programme in their various states.
The states that so far registered to participate in the event are Anambra, Gombe, Taraba, Bayelsa, Imo and Ondo, while other states are still being expected to indicate their interest in the programme.
