Volleyball: Ajikaz Oil pledges support for Kwara Inter Secondary School Competition
Ajikaz Oil limited has promised to support the forthcoming 2022 Kwara State Inter Secondary School Volleyball Competition.
The tournament is slated for 8th to 10th June, 2022 at the indoor sports hall of Kwara State Sports Complex, Ilorin.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ajikaz Oil Limited, Kazeem Ajibola on Monday said the support is to inspire the young participating children.
Ajibola said sports can be used in curbing the rate of social vices among teenagers in school schools.
The former Athletics athlete said, “I am supporting the volleyball competition because we want the children to be meaningfully engaged. Some children are idle after school hours and this competition can be used to reshape them.
“Sports can be used to curb social vices and violence among school children and they can channel their energy into something productive like sports.
“I will not be surprised in the nearest future if some of the children eventually represent the state at National Championship”, he added.
Ajibola urged other philanthropist in the country to support the growth and development of sports in their community.

Participants from different walks of life are eagerly looking forward to the Lagos Women Run scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos.
The participants have expressed excitement about the opportunities and experiences the annual event promises to offer.
Our correspondent reports that, in addition to runners from within Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, some athletes are expected to travel from outside the country to participate in the race.
The organisers are already making preparations for the large number of registered participants, while the possibility of accepting late entries will depend on the timing and other arrangements.
The Coordinator of the Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola, said participants should expect an improved experience compared with previous editions.
“We have to continue to get better, as that is the driving force for us as organisers. We will be bigger and better with every edition,” Popoola said.
The 2026 Lagos Women Run will hold on Saturday, November 14, with Tafawa Balewa Square serving as the starting point.
Participants are expected to arrive at the venue by 6:30 a.m. for the event.
