The Lagos State Sports Trust Fund (LSSTF) has equipped a total of 1,020 public primary schools with sports equipment.

The sports items distributed to the schools yesterday at the state’s secretariat were basketballs, footballs, table tennis tables, bats, chess board, scrabble boards, tennis racket among many others.

Speaking at the official presentation, the Chairman of LSSTF, Wahid Oshodi, described the initiative as part of the state government’s commitment to developing sports at the grassroots level.

He emphasized that the donation reflects the government’s dedication to the future of children and the holistic growth of sports in schools.

“Sports is more than recreation; it is a tool for education, discipline, health, and social cohesion. It teaches teamwork, resilience, and leadership values that align with the THEMES+ Agenda of the present administration, particularly in the areas of Education, Health, and Youth engagement,” he said.

The Executive Secretary of LSSTF, Olaposi Agunbiade, also appreciated sponsors and called for more support to extend the initiative to all schools in the state.

“To our special guest, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, thank you for your continuous support to LSSTF, education, and youth development in Lagos State. Your commitment to investing in our children through sports inspires us daily,” he said.
