The Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the maiden National Intermediate Games, tagged Eko 2026, has unveiled the official website for the multi-sport fiesta, eko2026.org, to provide real-time information and seamless access to details about the event.
The Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee of the LOC, Gbenga Omotoso, disclosed this while speaking on the newly launched platform, explaining that the website was designed with simplicity and user experience at its core.
According to him, the site features clean fonts, easy-to-read text and an intuitive user interface, ensuring visitors can quickly find information and complete tasks without frustration, while its logical navigation guides users effortlessly to the right pages, making it a reliable digital companion before, during and after the Games.
Omotoso emphasised that the website would serve as a dynamic hub for updates throughout the competition, adding that it was designed to help visitors and athletes, particularly first-timers, learn more about the city of Lagos and the Games.
“The website is detailed but simple to navigate. We want all our visitors and athletes to know more about the city of Excellence, and that is why the platform will help first-timers get first-hand information about Lagos and the Games,” he said.
He further highlighted Lagos’ history of hosting landmark sporting events, recalling the city’s role in staging the maiden National Sports Festival in 1973, as well as what many still regard as the best-organised edition of the festival in 2012.
Omotoso assured that Eko 2026 would build on this tradition, setting new standards in youth sports development, stressing that Lagos remained at the forefront when it came to sports in Nigeria.
“When it comes to sports, Lagos is at the forefront. With Eko 2026, we are set to break new ground by staging the most colourful Games in Nigeria’s history,” he affirmed.
