Nigeria has officially joined the race to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, according to a new announcement from the National Sports Commission (NSC).
According to The Cable, the chairman of the commission, Shehu Dikko, revealed that Opus Racing Promotions has been appointed as Nigeria’s official representative in the bid to bring the global motorsport event to Abuja.
