No fewer than 5,000 professionals from different sectors are expected to participate in the maiden edition of the Corporate Olympics scheduled to hold in Lagos on May 1, 2026.
The organisers, Work and Wellness Ltd, made this known on Monday during a press conference in Lagos where activities lined up for the one-day sporting event were unveiled.
Speaking at the briefing, the Technical Director of the event, Trebla Albert, described the initiative as more than just a sporting competition, noting that it represents a movement aimed at celebrating the human drive behind corporate productivity.
According to him, Nigeria’s corporate ecosystem is set to witness a unique convergence of business, wellness and competitive spirit as the Corporate Olympics makes its debut at the Landmark Event Centre.
Albert explained that the event is designed as a landmark gathering that will bring together professionals from leading organisations for a day of high-performance sporting challenges, wellness activities and collaborative competition.
“The Corporate Olympics is more than a sporting event; it is a movement that celebrates the human engine behind business performance,” he said.
Project Manager of the event, Daniel Maduneme, said the initiative offers a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate gatherings.
He noted that while many corporate events focus primarily on conferences and networking sessions, the Corporate Olympics provides an immersive platform that combines sports, strategy, media engagement and brand activation.
Maduneme added that the event is aimed at strengthening teamwork, promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering stronger connections among professionals across various industries.
Also speaking, wellness expert and resource person for the event, Maje Ayida, said organisations can participate by registering corporate teams, sponsoring activation zones or partnering with the organisers as strategic collaborators.
He explained that such partnerships would promote workplace wellness, improve employee productivity and encourage a culture of healthy competition within the corporate environment.
