“Olympic Day is a special day to come together, move together, and learn about the Olympic values,” said Abdul Ibrahim, the Chairman of the NOC Sport For All Commission.

“We encourage everyone to participate and experience the joy that only sport can bring,” the statement said.

In Lagos, a series of activities have been lined up, with fitness clubs at the National Stadium Complex and the general public gearing up to take part in the global event.

The celebration will conclude with the presentation of diplomas signed by the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach.
