Oluwatoyin Gafaar, Director-General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, highlighted the state’s roadmap for 2024, emphasizing the focus on children in sports development to positively channel their energy.
The DG underscored the commission’s commitment to harnessing sports development, emphasizing the prioritization of girl-child education and the creation of a conducive environment for athletes to excel, as stated in a recent announcement.
Gafaar commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration for substantial investments in sports infrastructure. Additionally, plans for the upcoming year include the timely completion of facilities undergoing renovation, set to be delivered in the first month of the new year.
“We have to give a big thank you to Mr Governor for always being at our aid to show love to our children. Sports is mostly about youth engagement in line with the T.H.E.M.E.S. Plus agenda which includes girl-child education, youth development and others.
“The key part of the roadmap is to have facilities to develop and expand the activities of youths in Lagos. That’s our target. To have our children, and younger ones where they can channel their energy,” he was quoted to have said.
