Kola Danie, special assistant on media to the director-general of NSC, in a press statement released to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, said the first presentation was delivered by Damilola Pedro, Co-founder and Head of Partnerships at Game Africa. She highlighted the multi-billion-dollar potential of eSports to revolutionize Nigeria’s sports economy, stressing the opportunities for youth empowerment through video gaming.

“Our presentation focuses on the untapped opportunities in eSports to empower Nigerian youths using video games,” Pedro explained.

“Nigeria has a viable pathway to unlock the next billions in gaming revenue.”
The second presentation came from Osi-Apagun Lai Labode, MD/CEO of CashToken Rewards Africa. Labode unveiled the Nigeria National Public-Private Universal Sports and Social Security System (NINPPUSSS), a funding model designed to revolutionize sports development in Nigeria through a “Chancified National Contribution.”

“Our model, developed after years of research, shows how we can generate billions of naira annually for sports,” Labode stated.
