LASG Reaffirms Commitment To Tennis Development

The Lagos Government has reiterated its commitment to actively fostering the growth of youth tennis talent by providing opportunities and resources to develop young players, aiming to enhance their skills and support their progression in the sport.

The Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Lottery and Gaming Authority, Bashir Aare, gave this assurance during the 3rd edition of the Sanwo-Olu Junior Tennis Tournament held recently at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan, Lagos State.

“Through ongoing initiatives and competitions, LASG aims to provide children with the opportunities and resources needed to excel in the sport and contribute to the state’s rich athletic legacy,” he said.

Aare explained that the event was initiated in line with the Lagos State Governor’s focus on promoting entertainment and sports, noting that many young people struggle in tennis due to the lack of tournaments where they can compete.
