Nigeria officially declares interest in hosting Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abuja

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.

However, Nigeria isn’t the only African nation eyeing the event — South Africa and Rwanda are also reportedly in talks to host the global race.

F1 Grands Prix are typically held on specially built circuits, though some events take place on street roads combined with dedicated race tracks.
