It became an Olympic Sport in 1964 in Tokyo, Japan. Today, volleyball has spread to all parts of the world, and is a popular sport in Nigeria. It was introduced in Lagos in 1965 by the British. It later spread to other parts of the country. In 1970, the Nigeria Volleyball Federation was officially inaugurated with Mr J.C. Omoruan as its first chairman. Since that time, the game has continued to grow and develop fast in the country. The pioneer players included J.C. Omoruan, A. Oduyale and A. Ajiduah.
