SWAN in a congratulatory message jointly issued by the Chairman, Hakeem Akintunde and Secretary, Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji opined that the state's hosting of the 22nd National Sports Festival in 2024 would lead to a significant increase in sports infrastructure during the governor's second term.
The association also requested that the governor give Gateway United, the state football team, the necessary attention so that it can reclaim its former grandeur.
The sports writers argued that the governor's ISEYA campaign platform should call for a turnaround in the sports industry.
