MOC declares Ogun State ready to host National Sports Festival

Ogun State has gotten a clean bill of health to host the 22nd edition of the National Sports Festival in January.

This is sequel to the inspection of facilities for the games by the Main Organising Committee, (MOC).

The committee led by its chairman, Mrs. Tinuke Watti expressed satisfaction after making on-the-spot inspection that took the members to Babcock University, the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, the NYSC Orientation Camp in Sagamu and the Abeokuta Sports Club in Abeokuta.

Mrs Watti, speaking on behalf of the MOC, expressed satisfaction on the facilities and commended the Ogun State Government for the efforts so far.

Most mind blowing was the accommodation facilities offered by Babcock University where 23 halls of residence will be made available to accommodate all the athletes in one place.

That singular gesture has drastically reduced logistical problems. The university campus will also host some of the sports events.

Its proximity to Ikenne, where the Remo Stars Stadium is located becomes another added advantage.
