The Osun State Government has appointed global Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, as the Chairman of the Osun State Sports Trust Fund.
This is in a bid to rejuvenate and sustainably finance the state’s sports development.
The initiative, according to the government, is designed to attract private and public sector investment to improve sports infrastructure and welfare for athletes across the state.
The Deputy Governor and Commissioner for Sports, Prince Kola Adewusi, made this known during a courtesy visit by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Osun State chapter, to his office in Osogbo.
Adewusi disclosed that the ongoing renovation and rehabilitation of the Osogbo Township Stadium is nearing completion, adding that the upgraded facility will meet Olympic standards once finished.
He further stated that the administration is also finalizing plans to establish the Osun State Sports Commission, which will serve as the central agency responsible for sports administration, talent development, and policy coordination in the state.
Speaking on the creation of the Osun Sports Trust Fund, Adewusi explained that the initiative will ensure long-term funding for sports through contributions from individuals, corporate bodies, and philanthropists both within and outside the state.
