In readiness to host the 2024 edition of the National Sports Festival (NSF), the Ogun State Government, has unveiled 16-man Local Organising Committee (LOC) made up of leading professionals in the country’s sports sector.

The Governor Abiodun-led state government had in May signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Sports and Youth Development, on the host of the sports festival.

Signing the MoU, Governor Abiodun had informed the Federal Government delegation led by the then Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare, that Ogun State, being a state noted for recording many firsts in all spheres of human endeavours, was ready to host a world-class festival in 2024, asserting that Ogun had capable hands and sponsors ready to support the bid.

Unveiling the 16-man LOC in Abeokuta, the state capital, on Tuesday, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi, in a statement, listed former Commissioner for Youths and Sports in the state, Bukola Olopade, a brain behind the top-rated Access Bank-sponsored Lagos City Marathon, Abeokuta 10km Marathon race, and the Remo ultra-race, as the chairman of the Committee alongside Tilewa Adebanjo, a sports enthusiast, as co-chairman.
