18th NSF: Oyo Challenges Team On Performance

The Oyo State Commissioner for
Youth and Sports Development, Adedapo Lam-Adesina,   has challenged Team Oyo to do the state
proud at the forthcoming 18th National Sports Festival (NSF).

 Lam-Adeshina told  newsmen in Lagos,  that the athletes must justify the confidence
reposed on Team Oyo by excelling at the national sports fiesta.

“Our athletes and Coaches have
received enough motivation to excel at the forthcoming NSF.

“Clinching at least the third
position in the NSF, would go a long way to encourage the state government to
further invest in sports” he said.

The commissioner said that he
recently hosted the coaches, athletes and executives of the Sports Council in
his office to evaluate the state’s preparations for Eko 2012.

He stressed that all hands
must be on deck, to ensure that Team Oyo performed well to surpass its 7th position placing at the 2011 NSF which took
place in Port Harcourt.

He added that the state would
do everything within its capacity to reclaim its rightful place in the nation’s
sporting circle.
