President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on the Commonwealth to make history by bringing the 2030 Centenary Games to Africa for the first time, with Nigeria as host
In a statement shared on his official X account on Tuesday, Tinubu stressed that despite a century of the Games, no African country has ever hosted the sporting spectacle.
“It is time for Africa. After 100 years of the Commonwealth Games, they have never been hosted on African soil,” Tinubu declared.
The President described Nigeria as “the gateway” and Africa as “the stage,” urging the Commonwealth family to use the 2030 milestone to prove that every region of the bloc matters.
“By bringing the Commonwealth Centenary Games to Nigeria in 2030, you will send a powerful message that every region of the Commonwealth matters, and that Africa is not only part of the story, but central to its future,” Tinubu stated.
He added: “Let us make history together in 2030. Let us complete the circle of Commonwealth unity. The dream must be realized. The time is now.”
If successful, Nigeria would become the first African nation to stage the Games since their inception in 1930.
