Talabi said the constitution of the LOC signified the readiness of
Ogun State government, to host the 2024 National Sports Festival (NSF).

Je said this is in fulfilment of an earlier promise made by the Governor Dapo Abiodun.

The state government, earlier in May, had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Sports and Youth Development on the sporting event.

During that occasion, Governor Abiodun had told the Federal Government delegation led by the then Minister of Sports, Mr Sunday Dare, that Ogun State, being a state noted for recording many firsts in all spheres of human endeavour, was ready to host a world-class festival in 2024, asserting that the State had capable hands and sponsors ready to support the bid.

To that end, the former minister, while expressing the FG’s acceptance of the proposal noted that the choice of Ogun State as the next host of the NSF was due to its culture of sports development, availability of sporting infrastructure and potential to host a befitting festival that would linger for a long time.

Talabi then mandated the LOC to set up subcommittees that will be made up of various stakeholders to ensure a hitch-free exercise. (vitalnewsngr.com)
