He thanked the Lagos State Government for upgrading the sports facilities in the school to accommodate other sports like football, tennis, basketball, vollyball, cricket and gymnastic among others.
Jemilugba Mathew Abayomi, the host and Principal of Igbobi Junior Secondary School, said grassroots sports have been limited to senior secondary schools at the detriment of those at the junior level.
