Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Governor Dapo Abiodun has approved the release of N16.5 million to 33 sport associations in the state to enable them to prepare for the 22nd National Sports Festival scheduled to hold from May 16 to 30 in the state.

The state athletes for the festival are also expected to commence closed-door camping with immediate effect.

The Secretary to the Ogun State Government (SSG), Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, stated this on Wednesday at the June 12 Cultural Center, Kuto, Abeokuta, during an engagement with athletes, coaches, chairmen of sport associations, and other stakeholders in the state.

“I am delighted to announce that the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has graciously approved the payment of N500,000 as support to each of the 33 sport associations participating in the festival.

“The Governor has sanctioned the implementation of a new structure and process to drive the development of sports,” he said.

The SSG noted that the subvention isn’t a largesse to be shared by anyone but an avenue to ensure the smooth preparation of the state athletes for the festival.

He said that the state government would be setting up a mechanism to see and ascertain the level of impact of the subvention on the preparation of the state athletes.

“It behoves you all to give an account of all these little gestures.

“I think it is going to be once or twice in the first instance, and then we will see the feedback; and if the feedback is good, it is not an opportunity for a largesse, and that is why the Governor is also putting the responsibility on the Commissioner for Sports Development.

“The government, especially the office of the Secretary to the State Government and the office of the Governor, through the office of the Secretary to the Ogun State Government, is going to set up a mechanism to see the feedback that we are getting from all these gestures we are making so that we can fine-tune it and make sure that it is sustainable,” he added.

He charged the state athletes to come up with their own war songs before every competition, just like the way it is done by rugby teams.

“When you see the rugby people; the Australians with their battle-ready songs, we will create our own, and it will be nice for some of our various teams to also have a small celebration mannerism within themselves so that you can create a lot of variety, and everybody will be looking up to it,” he said.

He noted that the National Sports Festival has given Ogun a platform to set a good structure for sports development in the state.

The SSG added that the state, with its new sporting facilities, has taken its place of pride among the comity of states.

He also said that while constructive criticisms are welcomed, the state government frowns upon sensationalism from a section of the public that does not want development.

He said : “Don’t be mischievous; you know sometimes, some people will just, for no reason, go on social media.

“It is not the way to get development; it is sensationalism.

“In the past, some of those people who have done that have confirmed that they wanted their social handles to get the needed traffic.

“But, when you have constructive criticisms, we are ready and willing to take them.”

Earlier in his remarks, the Commissioner for Sports Development, Hon. Wasiu Isiaka, disclosed that the state version of the National Sports Festival will hold in the last week of April.

He noted that two other states would be invited to participate to give the sports meet the needed competitiveness it deserves.

Isiaka said that the state government, aside from compensating individual athletes for their performance, would also reward outstanding associations that excel at the festival.

He urged association chairmen, secretaries,and coaches to unite and share constructive ideas towards a successful participation at the festival.
