Excitement filled the historic rural community of Joga-Orile in Yewaland, Ogun State, as the second edition of the WAMUFAT/Nigeria School Sport Federation (NSSF) Annual Sports Fiesta came to a close at the Agroterra Sport Complex after five days of intensive sporting activities, mentorship, and youth development.
Young athletes from six states across Nigeria’s South-West converged on the quiet town, ranging from primary school pupils to secondary school teenagers. Over 300 participants, aged between 6 and 16, enjoyed professional coaching and exposure in football, athletics, chess, netball, golf, lawn tennis, and ayo. Beyond competition, the programme integrated structured leadership, mentorship, and educational support sessions designed to foster holistic growth.
At the opening ceremony, NSSF President, Mrs. Olabisi Joseph, reaffirmed the federation’s commitment to grassroots talent discovery. “The Nigeria School Sport Federation remains committed to collaborating with organizations and individuals who share our vision of developing school sports and empowering the next generation of champions,” she said. She also urged government institutions and private-sector investors to support initiatives that combine sports with education, stressing the importance of sustainable opportunities for young athletes.
