As Lagos State hosts the AFCON trophy, it's clearly a testament to our commitment to sports development.


We are a city pulsating with sports enthusiasm and we’re grateful to Visa and CAF for choosing Lagos for the trophy tour. Our support for sports development continues as the excitement builds for this prestigious tournament.


The AFCON trophy is a symbol of continental pride and excellence. The Super Eagles carry our hopes, and I believe in their potential to clinch victory. With proper preparation and dedication, we're poised to shine on the global stage. 


Beyond a global spectacle, AFCON embodies the spirit of our local talents. I urge CAF to infuse indigenous skills and expertise thereby enriching the contest. 


Lagos remains committed to nurturing homegrown football talent and sustaining the fervor for sports.
