Over 300 schools from the six education
districts in Lagos State
will feature in the maiden Premier Lotto Lagos School Athletics
championships,
which kicks off on Monday.
Today at Teslim
Balogun Stadium, schools from Ikorodu,
Somolu and Kosofe will kick-start the
tournament with the aim of making the grand finale on 9th of March, 2013.
The
competition is
among secondary students in public and private schools in the state and
is
bankrolled by Premier Lotto in collaboration with the Lagos State
Athletics
Association and Lagos State Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social
Development.
According
to the organisers, the
tournament is aimed at promoting athletics in schools as well as to
discover
new talents.
The competition will be in two
categories starting with the
district finals made up of the six education districts in the state.
The technical
officials of the competition have warned participating schools to desist
from cheating,
as the organisers would surely sanction any school caught.
The
top athletes from each
district will qualify for the grand finale at Teslim Balogun Stadium.
Agege Stadium will host district one
and six on Tuesday
February 26 and March
6 to determine the athletes that will
compete in the finale.
The climax of the championship is the state final,
which holds on March 9 at Teslim Balogun Stadium with top athletes from
each
district converging to determine the state champions.
