The Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC) has granted full recognition of the national governing bodies for teqball, curling, and bobsleigh and skeleton.
The NOC approved recognition for the three federations during its Annual General Meeting (AGM), held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the recent emergence of the sport, the Nigeria Teqball Federation is already one of 89 national bodies registered with the International Federation of Teqball.
In September, Nigeria Teqball Federation vice-president Alhaji Adam Mouktar Mohammed claimed the sport was spreading rapidly in the country because of its appeal to all ages.
Curling has also been growing in Nigeria since it became a member association of the World Curling Federation in 2018.
