For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

Executive Chairman, Lagos State Sports Commission, Sola Aiyepeku, in his address at the commencement of the event held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, said this year's event was designed to encourage the youth to get more involved in sports activities because of the inherent benefits as well as bridging the gap between Public and Private Schools.

Executive Trustee of Ambassador Initiatives for Youth Development and Conflict Resolution, Ndidi Edeoghon remarked that this 2023 event had brought together students from different schools to discuss a united environment that will engender tolerance, conflict resolution and raise the standard for collaboration.

Part of the activities of the three-event was the Athletics competition held at Caleb British International School, Abijo Lekki, Lagos. The competition featured participants from Oreyo Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, Ijaiye; United Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, Pinefield Schools, Lekki: Whitesand Schools, Lekki and Corona Schools, Agbara, among others.

The organisers designated the IDSDP as a day to showcase the impact of sports as a vehicle to bridge the gap of inequality, gender sensitivity, promote a healthy environment and its immense contributions to livelihood

The event was successful in accentuating the collaborative effort between Public and Private Schools in the State while consolidating the cooperation among the Lagos State Sports Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Six Education Districts and a Sports Supporting Entity.
