The Ogun State Government has indicated its interest to host the National Sports Festival just as it has commenced renovation of sport facilities across the state.

The state governor, DAPO ABIODUN disclosed this when he received the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, SUNDAY DARE, who paid him a courtesy visit in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Governor ABIODUN added that he was quite disappointed when Delta state was named as the next host of the festival having just had one in neighboring Edo state, which according to him clearly contradicts the vision for its formation. 

The Ogun state governor stated that his administration would set up a Sports Trust Fund where certain percentage of money is deposited on a monthly basis to fund sporting activities in the state.
