Prince Adeyinka Adeboye, the President’s SSA on Grassroots Sports, said yesterday that his office had held several meetings with the NESG in preparation for the event.

He added that the summit, which has President Tinubu’s approval, will attract major stakeholders from within and outside Nigeria.
“We are looking forward to a summit that would draw a new road map for sports in this country and getting the NESG to partner with us clearly shows that we are on course,” he said.
The summit’s theme is “Creating a New Pathway for Sustainable Grassroots Sports Development.”
It comes at a time when the conversation on reforming Nigerian sports increasingly centres on stronger structures, better facilities, improved competitions and sustainable talent-development programmes.
