Nigeria’s bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games is a dream that must become reality. President Bola Tinubu said this in a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday.
He said no African nation had ever hosted the Games and bringing the 2030 edition to Nigeria would send a powerful message that Africa is vital to the future of the Commonwealth.
Tinubu 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 realized. The time is now.”
Nigeria is scheduled to present its final bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games before the event’s evaluation committee on Wednesday.
The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years, primarily featuring countries that are former territories of the United Kingdom.
