“Lagos finished with 26 gold, 19 silver, and 24 bronze medals, improving on our 21 gold, 19 silver, and 21 bronze medals from the last edition,” Fatodu said.
He attributed the success to the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration’s significant investment in sports and infrastructural development.
“This performance testifies to our developmental programmes that create avenues for youths to showcase their God-given talents,” Fatodu added.
The Lagos athletes excelled across various sports, with standout performances in boxing, cycling, swimming, and table tennis. In boxing, Team Lagos achieved a remarkable “4 over 4” feat, clinching all available gold medals, including events featuring the host state, Delta.
Isiaka Ibrahim’s gold medal win in the cycling individual point race and the swimming team’s haul of 10 medals (4 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze) were among the highlights.
