FEI Sets Nigeria Three-Year Target for Full Equestrian Membership

What changed

The Federation Equestre Internationale has set Nigeria a three-year target for achieving full equestrian membership. Anthony Obiorah, president of the Nigeria Equestrian Federation, said an FEI visit marked an important milestone and highlighted areas where Nigeria needs to make corrections.

Why it matters

This turns membership from a distant ambition into a deadline. The Nigeria Equestrian Federation now has three years to address the issues identified during the visit and move toward full recognition within the international governing structure.

The practical work remains undefined. The specific requirements, corrective measures, funding and implementation timetable have not been reported. That makes the target clear, but the route to it is still being mapped.
