Olalere Advocates for Gymnastics Development in Nigeria

Olalere, the Vice President of the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria, expressed his dedication to gymnastics, stating he entered the sport to give back to society rather than for titles. As a business owner, he believes in the responsibility that comes with success and has invested in gymnastics as part of his Corporate Social Responsibility.

He became Chairperson of the Southwest Gymnastics Association in 2021 and contested for the presidency of the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria, where he lost but viewed the experience as educational. By 2025, he prepared to run again, believing it was time for a new direction after the incumbent's eight years in office.

He campaigned and built relationships within the gymnastics community but faced challenges when the rules were amended to allow a third term for the incumbent, raising questions about the legitimacy of the process and the will of the gymnastics community.
