Sports247 reports that Dr. Ibrahim acknowledged that current economic realities in the country make participation in community activities less attractive than they used to be, but he urged all peace-loving individuals and bodies to lend a hand.
Ibrahim further appealed to corporate bodies and well-meaning individuals to support the nationwide event through sponsorships, donations and provision of materials required for a memorable Olympic Day celebration.
He urged organisations, philanthropists, development partners and members of the public to support the programme because it seeks to promote national unity, encourage interaction and improve public health through regular physical activity.
The commission chairman also commended the NOC’s leadership, headed by Engineer Habu Ahmed Gumel, for their continued support and commitment to continued annual success of the Olympic Day celebration across the country.
Ibrahim, who acknowledged the economic challenges facing stakeholders, urged members to remain committed towards a successful event, and added, “You have always strived to achieve the best. This year’s event should not be an exception.”
Sports247 reports further that Olympic Day is an annual global initiative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is staged to encourage mass participation in physical activities regardless of age, gender or athletic ability.
The programme promotes the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, unity, interaction and respect, while also advocating healthy and active lifestyles through non-competitive sporting activities.
