The Sports Festival, essentially, is a perennial Festival involving designated Olympic Sports, which is programmed to support the development of the Youths, especially from the Provinces to the State, with the finals going to the National stage, as we are about to witness in Lagos, from the November 27 to December 7, 2012.
Below, therefore, is a sketch of Nigeria’s leading Sports States as they prepare for the games. With what we have seen on our tour, juxtaposed with the leadership and the philosophies guiding those States, we would venture to predict that Lagos State, perhaps, is the most conditioned and the best prepared to win the festival.
Mention is also given to those states like Osun, Enugu, Ogun, Abuja Capital Territory, Nasarawa, who though may not win it, are faithful to the concept of the founders of Spaitaikada.
Lagos
As the host of the Festival, Lagos is expected to win. Whatever, the host’s greatest boost is that the Governor is a product of the Secondary Schools Sports. Currently, he is a nail biting competitor in both football and Tennis.
