“In the past, Olympic Day celebrations featured a 10-kilometer and a 5-kilometer race, which some considered restrictive. 

“However, following popular requests from advocates of the Olympic Movement, the celebration has now been expanded to include a wider range of sports to appeal to a broader participation,” he said.

The statement said the event has evolved into a mass movement aimed at promoting fitness for all, according to Austin Odigie, the coordinating officer for Sport for All Commission.

Dr Abdul Ibrahim, Chairman of the NOC Sport for All Commission and President of the Weightlifting Federation of Nigeria, has called on the state governments of the 17 listed councils and commissions to actively participate in this mass-oriented fitness programme.

He urged those unable to participate this year to in future use this annual event as an opportunity to mobilise the populace and encourage engagement in sports for better fitness.

Engr Habu Gumel, President of NOC will flag off the event at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, which will be staging the event in a long while.
