The 2020 Agege Sports Drive Competition in Lagos State will positively change the narrative perception of youths in the community as 16 teams from different streets have signed up for the Challenge Cup Tournament involving over 2,000 youths.
The game slated to begin on February 22 would change the negative perceptions of youths in Agege Community to the outside world.
Mr Ademola Oni, Chairman, Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the competition, made this known to the media yesterday, according to him, what Agege is popularly known for is the production of bread and other social vices among youths in the area.
“We believe we can use sports to change that negative perception of youths in the community.
“The competition will also involve both young and old within the local government area.
“Absolutely, this competition is not only about football, though, is one of the major events, but about eight different games are also included in the tournament.
“We believe other games that have not been given prominence should be recognised in this year’s completion,” he said.
