Topher, also known as Joseph Christopher Bassey, will be the official merchandise creative for the upcoming Africa Military Games Abuja 2024.

The 24-year-old creative designer will play a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity and merchandise for one of Africa’s most anticipated sporting events.

As the official merchandise creative, Topher will design a collection that embodies the themes of resilience, leadership, and partnership that AMGA represents. His work will showcase Nigeria’s creativity and innovation on the international stage, reinforcing the nation’s reputation as a hub for talent and cultural expression.

For the first time, Nigeria will host the African Military Games, AMGA Abuja 2024, which will run from November 18-30, 2024, in Abuja.

This second edition of the games comes 22 years after the inaugural event held in Kenya in 1998.

As the continent’s largest military sporting event, AMGA brings together Africa’s finest military athletes to compete across 19 exhilarating sporting disciplines, fostering unity, strength, and camaraderie.

Hosting AMGA 2024 is a landmark achievement for Nigeria, reaffirming its position as a leader in fostering African military cooperation and stability. Nearly abandoned for decades, the revival of this event symbolises Nigeria’s commitment to uniting Africa’s military forces through peace and sportsmanship.

Topher, who spoke on his selection, said: “I am beyond thrilled to be part of such a historic event. The opportunity to contribute my creativity to AMGA 2024 is just like a dream come true. I am looking forward to bringing a fresh, unique perspective that reflects the spirit of unity and resilience this event represents. It’s an honour to be part of something so monumental for both Nigeria and Africa as a whole.”

As Nigeria steps into the spotlight, Topher’s designs will play an integral role in creating a vibrant and unforgettable experience for participants and fans.
