The sports federations includes; Nigeria Teqball Federation, Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Nigeria and Nigeria Curling Federation.
Also the AGM unanimously approved the NOC president Activities Report and finance and audit reports for the year 2019 while acknowledging the collaborative support and leadership role of President Muhammadu Buhari towards the Olympic movement.

“Although, we have qualified athletes in some key sports, we strive to pick up qualification places in Athletics Relays, Badminton, Weightlifting and more in Wrestling as soon as the qualification window is reopened,” the communiqué stated.
