At First Bank, we will continue to embrace programs that encourage them to invest their energies in productive pursuits,” he stated.
Oyefeso clarified that this commitment is not limited to the South West region but extends to all states in Nigeria. He urged the corporate sector to take a more active role in sports development, emphasizing that private-sector involvement could significantly boost the nation’s sporting ecosystem.
“If there’s anything that unites the nation the most, it’s sports,” Oyefeso said. “Corporate Nigeria must begin to support sports and encourage well-organized initiatives that create opportunities for young talent.”
He highlighted the importance of providing platforms like the South West Games for young athletes, ensuring they have the right environment to showcase their abilities and grow in their careers.
