Ogun Sports Association receives N16.5M cheques ahead of 2025 NSF

Posted : 04 April 2025

In preparation for the 2025 National Sports Festival (NSF), the government of Ogun State on Wednesday announced the disbursement of a whopping N16.5 million to various sports associations in the state to aid their preparations.


The disbursement will be a major boost for grassroots sports development in the state through the Ministry of Sports Development, which announced and presented subvention cheques to the 33 sports associations.


Each association received N500,000 at a formal ceremony held at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta.


The financial support aims to strengthen the associations’ preparations for the Gateway Games 2024, the 22nd edition of the National Sports Festival, which Ogun State will be hosting.


Originally set for January, the event has been rescheduled to May 16–30, 2025, to allow for better preparations and facility upgrades.


Speaking at the event, Hon. Wasiu Isiaka, the Commissioner for Sports Development, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to nurturing sports at all levels.


He emphasized that the subventions would help associations develop athletes, enhance training programs, and ensure Ogun State’s strong presence at the festival.


This initiative is part of a broader effort by the state government to build a thriving sports sector, attract investment, and create opportunities for young athletes.


In line with this vision, Premium Trust Bank was recently unveiled as the lead sponsor for the Gateway Games 2024, marking the largest sponsorship deal in the history of the National Sports Festival.


With this financial backing and strategic planning, Ogun State is positioning itself to host a world-class sporting event while fostering talent and unity through sports.
