Oshodi Hails Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games Organisation.
Speaking on the sidelines of activities linked to the Games, Oshodi said the event had showcased Africa’s hospitality, culture and organisational capabilities to the global community.
Transportation has been excellent, the people have been overwhelmingly nice, and the competition has been very good,” Oshodi said.
“The opening ceremony was fantastic, truly out of this world.
The cultural displays brought everything home to us in Africa and made us proud. Overall, everyone has been warm and welcoming, and the events have been very well organised.” According to the former Lagos State Commissioner for Sports, the Youth Olympic Games present a unique opportunity for Africa to project its strengths both on and off the sporting arena. Oshodi, who began his formal sports administration career at the Lagos State Sports Council in 1999, reflected on a journey that has seen him hold several influential positions across national, continental and international sports bodies. Over the years, he has served in the Lagos State Table Tennis Association, the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation, and the African Table Tennis Federation, the International Table Tennis Federation, the Nigeria Olympic Committee and various International Olympic Committee working groups.
