Nigeria Enters the Race to Bring F1 to Africa! 🏁
Nigeria is set to make history as it launches a bid to host the prestigious Formula 1 Grand Prix in its capital city, Abuja. Led by the National Sports Commission (NSC) Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, this ambitious initiative seeks to put Nigeria on the global motorsport map.
The NSC has partnered with Opus Racing Promotions, supported by Government Relations experts - BL Practice Hub, to drive this groundbreaking bid.
With full support from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration under the Renewed Hope agenda, alongside private sector leaders and the sports community, Nigeria is ready to bring F1 to Africa’s largest economy.
To show commitment, invitations have been sent to FIA President Stefano Domenicali, Lewis Hamilton, and Tilke Engineers to visit Nigeria and engage with key stakeholders.
Abuja is ready. Nigeria is ready. Africa is ready. 🏎️🇳🇬
