In commemoration of six decades of contributions to sports journalism in Nigeria, the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has unveiled its official 60th anniversary logo.

The commemorative logo, designed in Nigeria’s national colours of green and white, features the number “60” alongside the SWAN emblem. A ribbon inscribed with “Years Anniversary” underscores the significance of the diamond jubilee.

Ikenna Okonkwo, SWAN Secretary General, in a statement, described the unveiling as a symbolic kickoff to events celebrating the organization’s founding in 1964 and its continued role in promoting sports through responsible journalism and advocacy.

Okonkwo said the three-day anniversary event is scheduled for October, to coincide with Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day celebration.

On his part, SWAN President Isaiah Benjamin described the unveiling as a moment of pride and reflection for the Association.

“As we unveil this logo, we are not just celebrating the past 60 years, but also reaffirming our collective commitment to professionalism, integrity, and the promotion of sports through credible journalism.

“The anniversary celebrations will include a variety of events, such as public lectures, awards, media games, and a gala night to honour individuals and institutions that have supported the Association’s mission over the years. Notably, sports icons and veterans will also be recognized during the celebration.

“The milestone comes at a time when SWAN is deepening its engagement in sports policy advocacy, promoting inclusive participation, and contributing to discourse on sports governance at all levels,” he said.

SWAN, described as a historic achievement for sports journalism in Nigeria, called on journalists, stakeholders, partners, and the public to support and participate in the anniversary activities.
