“We are going to be looking at 50 athletes, 50 coaches and 50 officials. So we are going to be having 150 participants across Nigeria.

“Each of the region is going to present 24 participants who are going to be trained and the coaches will be trained and certified with the national certification level,” he said.

He said that the goal was for Nigeria to showcase its talented riders in the equestrian events at the Olympics.

Additionally, the organisation’s long-term goal is to establish a talent pipeline by 2025, extending its programme to secondary schools and tertiary institutions, and showcasing Nigeria’s best athletes on the Olympic stage.

Also speaking , the Executive Director, of Tourism Volunteers Network, Phil Roberts urged the country to take up the new innovation in sports as a way of generating money for the country.
Roberts said that the sports, if harnessed, would also serve as a way of developing the tourism sector as it would attract foreigners to the country.

“Nigeria has been focusing so more on crude oil, now everybody is talking about Compressed Natural Gas (CNG ) and electric gas.

“Other nations have gone far ahead in terms of development and one of the things they do not joke with is innovations.

“The equestrian sport is a new innovation and our job as tourism promoters is to see how we can have this as another potential for Nigeria revenue,” he said.
