KSSC gives deadlines on completion of Squash hall

Posted : 05 April 2024

The Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Sports Commission (KSSC), Mallam Bolakale Mogaji, has revealed that the modern squash courts at the Kwara State Stadium will be completed before the end of April 2024.


Mogaji disclosed this during a facility tour with members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Kwara State Chapter, in Ilorin.


The former national squash coach stated that the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, is leaving no stone unturned in completing what might be the first ultra-modern squash court in Sub-Saharan Africa.


He said, "Kwara is set to join the league of top squash classics hosts as an ultra-modern facility nears completion. The Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has assured that the state will reclaim its top spot in squash in Nigeria."


"In the next three weeks, the spanking new 10-court squash facilities will be ready for launch, and the State Government is planning big for the game, which will have a non-competitive presence in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Governor is very keen on hosting an international squash classic in Kwara," explained Mogaji.


The astute sports administrator added, "The Government is making unprecedented investments in sports, making the sector fourth in Kwara after Health, Education, and Works. The Governor sees sports as an industry to invest money in and reap maximum benefits in youth engagement," the commission boss told journalists in Ilorin.


Reacting, the Chairman of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Kwara State Chapter, Mallam Ayodejii Ismail, commended the initiative of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for investing in sports.


He said the completion of the squash hall will provide opportunities for players within the state to access world-class facilities.


Ayodeji revealed that hosting an International Championships will further boost the economic value of the state and expose it to sports tourism.
