President of the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF), Engineer Musa Nimrod has again showed his love and passion for development of the sports by supporting the 6th edition of the Lagos inter Schools Sports Fiesta.
Nimrod over the weekend, donated trophies and medals for the volleyball event just like he did in 2021.
Speaking during the presentation of the items to the organisers, Wonderland Sports, Nimrod commended them for taking volleyball to schools.
He said development of the sports must start from the schools
“For the sport to grow, we need to focus more on grassroots and our schools is the best place to start. We at the federation are ready to support volleyball at grassroots level because this will help us discover future players and who will replace the ageing ones.
“We are happy with wonderland sports are doing and you can see that is a programmer we should all support especially since this programme is endorsed by Lagos State Government through the Sports Commission,” he said.
The NVBF boss charged other sports federations and corporate bodies to give support to Wonderland Sports.
Meanwhile, coordinator of the event, Tayo Adeyemo said the competition which is in its sixth season, will commence May 31 at various schools and centres in Lagos with the grand finale billed for Agege Stadium.
The events for Season 6 are football, volleyball, athletics basketball, table tennis and tug of ear.
A total of 24 schools are expected to participate with winners going home with trophies, medals and gifts.
