The National Sports Commission (NSC) has officially confirmed that Ogun State is fully prepared to host the 22nd edition of the National Sports Festival, following a comprehensive inspection tour of competition venues, logistics hubs, and athlete accommodations across the state.<\/p>\n

Led by NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko, the Commission\u2019s delegation visited key facilities including the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Alake Sports Centre, Remo Stars Sports Complex, and Babcock University, which will serve as the athletes\u2019 village for the Festival.<\/p>\n

The Gateway Games 2024, scheduled to run from May 16 to 30, will bring together thousands of athletes and officials from across Nigeria, competing in more than 32 disciplines, making it one of the largest and most inclusive editions in the Festival\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the tour, NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko expressed deep confidence in Ogun\u2019s capacity to deliver a landmark event. According to him, \u201cWhat I have seen here in Ogun is more than infrastructure. It is intent readiness, and\u00a0 ambition. Ogun is set to deliver a brilliant National Sports Festival that will raise the bar and define the standard for future games across Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reaffirming the state\u2019s commitment, Governor Dapo Abiodun assured the Commission and the Nigerian people of Ogun\u2019s readiness to deliver a historic Games. \u201cWe consider it an honour and a responsibility to host this historic Festival. Every facility, every logistic, every detail has been prepared to showcase the best of Ogun and the promise of Nigeria. The Gateway Games will be a model of what\u2019s possible when states align with national vision,\u201d the Governor said.<\/p>\n

As the lead agency for sports governance in Nigeria, the National Sports Commission continues to play a central role in coordinating nationwide sports development delivery, enforcing standards, and deepening synergy across all tiers of government. The success of the Gateway Games will serve as a blueprint for future sports development initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
