Ogun State Government is working out modalities to launch Sports and Youths Trust Fund with pool of financial resources from the government and organised private sector, to empower youths and support students in the State.

 The State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun dropped the hint during the commissioning of Molipa-Fasugboye, Asafa-Oke, Asafa-Isale roads in Ijebu-Ode, saying proper engagement of youths would make them embrace sports and other productive ventures, as well as shun social vices, particularly cultism.

 The Governor said, “I will soon be launching a Sports and Youth Trust Fund with an assurance from the organised private sector that they will donate generously to that fund. The fund will be used to empower our youths and support our students.

Abiodun further stated that he had bidded for the Nigeria University Games in 2024, to ensure that youths in Ijebu-Ode, Remo, Abeokuta and Ilaro partake maximally, urging the youth to exercise their franchise in the forthcoming General Elections and not allow themselves to be used as thugs in the hands of desperate politicians.
