The grassroots football development initiative of Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) is gaining significant attention and sponsorship from the private sector, with the JJ Omojuwa Foundation joining as a key partner.
Founder of the foundation, Mr. Japhet Omojuwa, visited the Teslim Balogun Stadium and the office of the Director-General of the Lagos State Sports Commission to announce the donation of eco-friendly football boots to be distributed to talented children identified across various communities under the state’s grassroots football development programme.
According to him, the initiative would further enhance the accessibility of essential soccer playing equipment and facilities for young athletes, thereby breaking down the barriers faced by gifted athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Mr. Lekan Fatodu, the Director-General of LSSC, lauded the initiatives, noting that such collaborations reinforce government efforts to foster sports development. “We are building a system where talent is identified early, supported with the right resources, and guided through a structured pathway”.
“Support like this helps us reach communities more effectively and ensures that promising athletes are not excluded due to economic limitations. Our focus is to create continuity from grassroots discovery to elite performance”, he added.
