My Administration Will Restore Osun’s Lost Glory In Sports – Governor Adeleke

Governor Ademola Adeleke has promised a positive turnaround for the sport industry  in Osun state while stating his administration’s readiness to make necessary supports available in order to restore the lost glory of the state when it comes to sports.

Adeleke’s spokesman, Mr Olawale Rasheed noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that the governor gave the assurance while giving his speech during the presentation of two new buses to the two state-owned football teams in Osogbo on Tuesday.

Governor Adeleke, who expressed the prospects of football in driving economic growth and meaningfully engaging young people, said his administration will ensure that the football teams are motivated to bring laurels for the state.

‘I am a footballer’ Governor Adeleke said, adding that ‘I played for my school, Ede Muslim Grammar School; I played number 7. Segun Odegbami was my role model then’ the governor told the jubilant sportsmen and women.

Governor Adeleke explained that he was surprised when he heard of the poor state of the sport teams in respect of mobility, noting that he is passionately prepared to fully equip the sport teams for better performances.

He assured the players of the state-owned football teams that his administration will make them happy to deliver according to expectations, maintaining that his government’s commitment to sport development remains a priority.

‘Our administration will make you happy, so that you can keep moving forward. Sport is a big part of our plans. Our sport agenda will soon be fully unfolded.

Sports will make Osun become more popular. By the time the many incentives of our government materialize, you will be happy to play. Sports will become a major strength of our state.

So tomorrow, to encourage you, I want all of us to go to the stadium and watch you play. I want to do the kick-off’ he said.

The Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, who attended the event, commended Governor Adeleke for being a sport enthusiast, reassuring the sport stakeholders in Osun state that one of their own is the Chief Executive of the state.

Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Teslim Igbalaye also praised the governor for acting promptly on the request for buses for the state football teams. 

‘Since we got the new buses, the teams have not lost a single match. They are in the lower division and played with teams in higher divisions and didn’t lose. With your support, we want to pilot them to the NFL.’  the SSG noted-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
