The Sports for All Commission under the auspices of the Nigeria Olympic Committee, has concluded arrangement for the 2026 Olympic Day celebration initially fixed for Saturday, 27 June 2027 but has to be shifted by one week due to logistics.
The event will now come up across the country on 4 July 2026 according to the Main Organizing Committee (MOC), after an emergency meeting on Friday 6 June, 2026.
The MOC believe that the one week postponement will give the participating states enough time to package a befitting celebration this year
“As we speak, a total of 18 states have indicated their interest to participate in the exercise by hosting it in their domain.
“These are, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, FCT, Gombe, Imo and Jigawa state. Others include, Kogi, Ondo, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Tarabs and Zamfara State,” observed Sports for All Commission Secretary, Mr Augustine Odigie.
