The Lagos State Government has reiterated its commitment to promoting healthy living through sports, saying it is expanding partnerships with public and private stakeholders to encourage active lifestyles and improve the overall wellbeing of residents.

The initiative forms part of the state’s broader efforts to reduce lifestyle-related diseases through regular physical activity, healthy nutrition and community engagement, while positioning sports as a tool for public health promotion.

The Director-General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, stated this during a courtesy visit by marathon athlete, foodie and Nestlé Water brand ambassador, Ade Enioluwa, to the commission’s office at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Wednesday.

According to a statement released by the Lagos State Government on Wednesday, Fatodu said the commission’s responsibilities extend beyond organising sporting competitions to fostering partnerships that promote healthy living.
