Organisers of the Remo Secondary Schools Athletics Championship, which ends yesterday at the Gateway International Stadium in Shagamu, have praised Value Jet Airlines for throwing its weight behind the competition.
The competition, organised by the Falilat Ogunkoya Sports Foundation, is for secondary schools in the Remo Division of Ogun State and will serve as a platform to discover talents that can be groomed in time to represent Ogun State at the National Sports Festival scheduled for Benin, Edo State in March/April next year.
Valuejet Remo Secondary School Athletics Championship for schools in the South West was rounded off yesterday at the Sagamu International Stadium. The talent hunt event was organised by the Falilat Ogunkoya Foundation in a frantic effort to return Nigeria to its glory days in athletics, which is fast fading off.
The brain behind the event, Chief Falilat Ogunkoya during the closing ceremony expressed her gratitude to Value Jet and its owner, Kunle Soname for backing the competition. She believes the talents discovered at the competition will forever be grateful to Soname, also a Remo indigene, for giving them the opportunity to be noticed.
“This is a dream come true for me. I am grateful to Mr. Soname for identifying with our objective, which is to give boys and girls in the Remo Division of Ogun State the opportunity to showcase their talents.
