12 Governors to Headline National Grassroots Sports Summit in Abuja

According to THISDAYLIVE, 12 governors are expected to be at the forefront of the National Grassroots Sports Development Summit 2026, which is scheduled to take place in Abuja. The summit, aimed at transforming Nigeria’s sporting future, is slated for just over a week from now. The event has garnered attention due to the critical role of state governments in shaping the nation’s sporting landscape. It is not yet clear whether all 36 state governors have been invited or if only 12 have confirmed their attendance. This development echoes the Presidency’s recent invitation to the Special Adviser on Grassroots Sports for Abuja, Okpebholo, as reported by The Sun Nigeria.
