Afijo Sports Centre: Fakorede Commends Hon. Adisa, Calls for More Collaborative Efforts

The Oyo State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Seun Fakorede has called on more collaborators and partners in developing the sports sector of the state, adding that there are more opportunities to tap into as the government alone cannot develop the state.

He stated this yesterday while attending the commissioning of the Afijio Sports Centre initiated by Hon. Seyi Adisa.

Fakorede said, “In the true spirit of leadership, it is important to give credence to an initiator of a brilliant project, such as the Afijio Sports Centre”.
