The National Sports Commission announced in a statement that Atoyebi will join a 15-member committee responsible for staging what is expected to be a world-class youth athletics event.

Atoyebi, who currently serves as Technical Assistant to the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), brings nearly 20 years of media experience, including editorial roles at The Sun Newspaper, Naij.com, and Premium Times. She has also served in government as Special Assistant to the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory.

In response to her appointment, Atoyebi, a renowned youth sports development advocate, said, “Sports is my passion. At Fame Foundation, I’ve used it as a tool to combat social vices and uplift communities.

“This appointment is a call to service, and I’m fully committed to ensuring Nigeria delivers one of the best-organised age-grade athletics championships on the continent.”
