The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Bukola Olopade, has commended the Ogun Women Run, describing it as a vital platform for the empowerment and celebration of women in sports.
Just before flagging off the race on Saturday morning in Abeokuta, Mr Olopade emphasised that initiatives like this paved the way for talents to excel, citing icons, Mary Onyali, and Falilat Ogunkoya, as prime examples of how the nation can tap into potentials.
Mr Olopade called on Ogun and other States to continue beaming lights on talents who can shine on national and global stages, reiterating the NSC’s resolve to provide an enabling environment for women’s sports to thrive.
