Abstract
National Biomechanics Day (NBD) can raise public understanding and awareness of the field of biomechanics, as well as boost the number and diversity of young people interested in entering the profession and pursuing a career in it, especially in regions like Nigeria and Africa. The circumstances leading up to Nigeria's first NBD are summarized in this paper. It is hoped that if this trend continues, it would draw a large number of young people into biomechanics and biomechanics-related careers.
