As the count -down to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics  in France gathers momentum, plans are underway  to hold  a pre- Olympics  Seminar  at the National Institute for Sports (NIS) Lagos.

According to the Director-General of the National Institute for Sports Professor Olawale Moronkola, "The Olympics  is sports greatest Fiesta which brings together  diverse people of the world under an atmosphere  of friendship. As a sports Institute, we decided to partner with  Newstap Communication to provide  a platform to discuss Team Nigeria  preparations and how to leverage on the benefits  of the Olympics. As a research and training institute,  we have a responsibility to provide quality training  and research  information  that will help our athletes  perform well at the games. We are not just interested  in mere academic exercise,  but to provide scientific information  to help our team perform  well at the event."

The one -day Seminar which  will take place at the Conference Hall of the NIS  on July 16th  2024 will attract 
Ex Olympians,  athletes and  other sports stakeholders  who will be   speaking  on preparations for the games.

Professor Moronkola  further stated that this collaboration with  Newstap Media Ltd  is in line with  the renewed  vision of NIS to partner with other organizations to promote sports development  in the 
country.

Founder of the online media platform Newstap, George  Aluo affirmed…”We have been  at the forefront  of championing Nigerian sports growth over the years, so this is another way to raise the bar. We believe  that the objectives of this seminar  will be beneficial  to the  strategic role of  using sports as vehicle  for national development."
