Established in 2021, SPORT NIGERIA (SN) is a Limited by Guarantee private sector initiative facilitated by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) as part of the outcomes of several engagements with the public sector, organized private sector, social enterprise and multilateral organisations to chart a business-oriented pathway for sports development in Nigeria. Sport Nigeria was set up to assist in aggregating the quantum of investment required to trigger the objectives of a repositioned sports industry, by engaging with all stakeholders to facilitate the development of the value chain of the sports industry. Sport Nigeria will complement the governments’ sports development efforts at national and sub-national levels and leverage the potentials and opportunities from the sports industralisation agenda for the successful development of a thriving industry that makes a significant contribution to the Nigerian Economy. Through its activities and input into the development of the sports industry value chain, Sport Nigeria will also contribute to sports as a platform for economic, social and youth development.
