Posted : 22 July 2024

Ibadan will be bustling as hundreds of schools and thousands of primary and secondary school students converge in the ancient city to compete for places in the International School Sports Federation World Athletics Trials.


The trials are intended to select Nigeria's representatives for the World School Athletics Championship, which will be held in Bahrain later this year.


The competition will be organized in three categories: U-12 (for primary school pupils), U-15 (for junior secondary school students), and U-18 (for senior secondary school students).


Dr. Isaac Friday Ogada, Chairman of the Oyo State Athletics Association, stated that plans and efforts are being made to ensure successful trials, emphasizing that it is a joy to bring a competition of such magnitude to Oyo State.


He also noted that hosting this global event for the first time in history is another achievement for Governor Oluseyi Makinde.


"I am thrilled that this competition is coming to Oyo State, and we will do our best to ensure a successful event. It will also showcase the rich hospitality and cultural heritage of the state, as well as provide a great platform to unearth the wonderful talents in the state."


"It is also a significant development that this is happening during Governor Makinde's tenure."


Dr. Isaac Ogada concluded, "It will serve as a test run for Oyo State as we also plan to host the National Sports Festival."


The arrival date for the competition is Monday, August 5, 2024, while the main competition will take place from Tuesday to Thursday, August 6 to 8, with departure scheduled for Friday, August 9, 2024.
