Aiyepeku stated that through the partnership with the Ministry of Education and collaboration of the six education districts, the state-wide training programme will attain its full potentials which are gains beyond encouraging participation.

He revealed that the Lagos State Sports Commission has commenced the training of over 400 sports masters and physical education teachers across Lagos as a first step in the deployment of the LASSIP.

“We are also planning to educate the parents for them to allow their children to participate in sports and the career paths that exist in Sports”, Aiyepeku added.

The Permanent Secretary, Education District 1, Mrs. Titilayo Solarin,  who commended the LSSC Boss for working closely with the Education Districts since the inception of the present administration, lauded the timely LASSIP initiative and also acknowledged the efforts of the Lagos State Government through the LSSC for the training mapped out for the Games Masters/ Mistresses and Physical Education Teachers in order to contribute meaningfully to the development of school sports in the state.
