Sport Is A Catalyst For Peace – Akanni

Ex-international, Waidi Akanni, yesterday said sport remained one of the most viable tools to drive unity in any organisation and the country.
Akanni, general coordinator of Adron Games 2021, said this in an interview with newsmen in Lagos.
He said the forthcoming Adron Games 2021, by Adron Homes and Properties, would foster team spirit in the organisation, just as sport could be used to promote peace and unity in the country.
He said the company had been organising the competition among its staff across the country for the past five years to promote unity and peace in the work space, and urged other companies and organisations to do same.
“Adron Games tagged ‘Be Fit for the Top’ has become a festival all employees look forward to; other corporate organisations can take on this initiative.
“This year, it is going to be bigger as we have introduced more teams from the different branches of Adron Homes and Properties,” he said.
He added that the staff of the real estate company would slug it out among themselves, with each team representing a continent.
The Gateway continent, headquarter continent, Island and mainland continents, among others will go to the battle field when the event takes centre stage.
Akanni said some schools had been invited to participate in the competition, which would hold from November 18 to November 20 at the Gateway Stadium, Sagamu in Ogun.
According to him, no fewer than 700 athletes, representing the company and some selected schools, will jostle for honours in football, athletics, wrestling and other sports.
