In an exciting development for local sports enthusiasts and the youth of Ijesa North, respected Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq. has announced his latest community initiative: a football tournament spanning the Oriade and Obokun Local Government Areas.
The tournament, which aims to engage the youth in positive and creative activities, is one of ten social engagement and support programs planned by Olajengbesi this year. It’s a strategic move to harness the energy of the young population in a constructive manner, promoting teamwork, discipline, and a healthy lifestyle through sports.
This sports festivity is set to be held in honour of the Governor of Osun State, His Excellency, Senator (Dr) Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, who has expressed his enthusiasm for the event and has pledged his full support. This high-profile acknowledgment is expected to elevate the tournament’s significance and serve as an inspiration for participants.
To translate this vision into reality, Olajengbesi has put together a committee of eleven dedicated volunteers. These community advocates are charged with overseeing the logistics of the tournament, from the registration process to orchestrating the final match. The committee’s commitment is a testament to the collective effort aimed at the successful execution of the tournament.
Olajengbesi’s message is clear: unity is the key to making this tournament not just an event, but a landmark occasion that could pave the way for future community-led initiatives. With the enthusiastic backing of local government and the proactive involvement of the community, this tournament is poised to be a memorable and impactful event.
The anticipation for the football tournament is already building, and it’s expected to draw significant attention from across Osun State and beyond. It stands as a beacon of community spirit, showcasing how sports can be a powerful catalyst for positive change.
In his closing remarks, Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq. extends warm regards and encourages the entire Ijesa North family to come together and contribute to the success of the tournament. It’s a call to action for all to support the youth and be part of an event that promises to be as exciting as it is meaningful.
