Speaking on the relevance of the topic of the lecture, the chairman of the state chapter, Niyi Alebiosu, said the topic was carefully chosen to inform Muslim believers and sports journalists about the benefits of fasting for athletes.

He added that a prominent fitness specialist who is aware about the suitability of fasting with sports will be the guest lecturer.

"We are using this year's Ramadan Lecture to explore the place of fasting in the life of an athlete. There is a popular misconception among people that fasting is detrimental to the health and performance of athletes. The topic was chosen to correct this erroneous belief.
