This much-anticipated event, slated to run from November 20 to December 4, has captured the attention of the state, featuring 13 institutions competing in six sports: athletics, football, table tennis, badminton, Scrabble, and chess.

Dignitaries including the acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Sports, Mr. Layi Adesiyan, and OSTIGA Chairman, Comrade Agboola Akinbode, underscored the games’ importance in fostering unity, resilience, and sportsmanship. “This is not just competition; it is about building the future of Osun’s youth,” Adesiyan remarked.
