The National Sports Commission (NSC) has announced the composition of the Main Organising Committee (MOC) for the maiden edition of the National Intermediate Games, scheduled to hold later this year in Lagos State.

Director General of the NSC, Bukola Olopade, will serve as Chairman of the committee, while the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee will act as Vice Chairman. Olalekan Alabi has been appointed Secretary.

Other members of the committee include Amaka Ashiofu, Niyi Beyioku, Thecla Para, Mrs. Kehinde Ajayi, Dr. Rabiu Mohammed, Mbora Ikana, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, Yusuf Ali, Dr. Emmanuel Igbinosa, and Michael Obasi.

Additional members are Salisu Abubakar, Seyi Johnson, Rekiya Amedu, Kawu, Ahmad Muazu, Olufisayo Odiaka, Mariam Akande, and a representative of the State Director of Sports.

Announcing the committee, Olopade said it would oversee preparations and ensure the successful delivery of the inaugural edition of the Games.

“We expect the committee to bring its expertise to bear in laying a solid foundation for the National Intermediate Games,” he said.

The National Intermediate Games is designed to provide a competitive pathway for athletes above 15 years who have previously participated in the National Youth Games, as part of the NSC’s broader sports development framework under the Renewed Hope Initiative for Nigeria Sports Economy (RHINSE).
