Nigerian contingent is making its final bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games at the Commonwealth Games headquarters in London, United Kingdom.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier announced on his official X handle on Wednesday, advocating for the 2030 Commonwealth Games to be hosted on African soil, and Nigeria taking the centre stage.
The president reiterated the importance of hosting the centenary game in Africa, as the continent has never hosted the game.
He wrote: “To the Commonwealth Family, it is time for Africa. After 100 years of the Commonwealth Games, they have never been hosted on African soil.
“By bringing the Commonwealth Centenary Games to Nigeria in 2030, you will send a powerful message that every region of the Commonwealth matters, and that Africa is not only part of the story, but central to its future. Nigeria is the gateway. Africa is the stage.
“The Commonwealth is the family. Let us make history together in 2030. Let us complete the circle of Commonwealth unity. The dream must be realised. The time is now.”
