Adebayo Lawal, Oyo State Deputy Governor

An award ceremony centred on Nigeria’s 62nd independence anniversary is being planned in the sprawling city of Ibadan. It will hold on October 1.

According to the co-ordinator of the project, Ayo Ademokoya, it is an attempt to use football to leverage on good governance.

He remarked that the concept was a brainchild of Kayode Idowu who intends to use football to drive home the concept of good governance, not just for the country’s 62nd independence anniversary, but also to preach the gospel as the country heads towards the 2023 general election.

The programme will feature football matches as well as seminars and award ceremony.

The award recipients will include the deputy governor of Oyo State as well as many notable sports figures in Oyo State.
