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.
Director, Experience, Engagement & Media, Ekemini Ekerette, alongside 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 Albert, 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.
He explained that the event is designed as a landmark gathering that will bring together professionals from some of Nigeria’s 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. For one day, Nigeria’s corporate workforce will step out of boardrooms and into an arena designed to celebrate strength, teamwork, creativity, and resilience.
“The event is expected to bring together more than 5,000 athlete-employees from top-tier companies across industries including finance, energy, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, agriculture, education, and real estate,” Albert said.
Project Manager of the event, Daniel Maduneme, noted that the initiative stands out from traditional corporate gatherings.
He explained that while many corporate events focus largely on conferences and networking sessions, the Corporate Olympics provides an immersive platform that blends sport, strategy, media engagement, and brand activation.
Maduneme added that the event aims to strengthen teamwork, promote healthy lifestyles, and foster stronger connections among professionals across industries.
Also speaking, resource person for the event, Maje Ayida, said companies can participate by registering corporate teams, sponsoring activation zones, or partnering with the organisers as strategic collaborators.
He noted that such partnerships would help promote workplace wellness, enhance employee performance, and encourage a culture of healthy competition within the corporate environment.
