The Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Olympic Solidarity, will host a two-day Good Governance Seminar for presidents of National Sports Federations in Abuja from Sept. 28 to Sept. 29.
The capacity-building workshop will hold at the Starview Palace Hotel in Gwarinpa, Abuja, and will bring together leaders from across Nigeria’s sporting sector.
The seminar aims to enhance leadership capabilities, improve administrative efficiency, and align Nigerian sports management with international governance standards established by the Olympic Movement.
Topics on the agenda include sports architecture, core governance principles, executive roles and responsibilities, anti-corruption strategies, and effective organizational management.
‘This seminar provides a vital platform for federation leaders to address ongoing administrative challenges and collaborate on practical solutions to strengthen sports delivery nationwide,’ said NOC Secretary-General Babatunde Popoola.
To ensure high-level delivery, the IOC has designated Dr. Donald Rukare-President of Commonwealth Sport and a MEMOS sports governance instructor-to facilitate the sessions.
NOC President Engr. Habu Ahmed Gumel reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to continuous executive education as a pillar for sustainable athletic development in Nigeria.
Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the National Sports Commission, is scheduled to deliver the opening address and officially launch the event.
