Gov Ododo, Declare State of Emergency on Sports in Kogi

Once a beacon of sports talent and development, Kogi State is now grappling with a grave crisis in its sports sector. The situation has become so dire that it can only be described as a state of emergency.
The state’s sports infrastructure and management are comatose, from neglected stadium to the mass exodus of athletes seeking better opportunities elsewhere. Without urgent intervention, Kogi risks losing its historical reputation as a sports hub.
A State of Coma in Kogi Sports
One of the most glaring issues plaguing sports in Kogi State is the underutilisation of the Confluence Stadium. Despite being a state of the art facility, the stadium has never hosted any national championship since its completion. This lack of activity is a waste of resources, as the stadium could serve as a major venue for sporting events, bringing both national attention and economic benefits to the state.
Moreover, while Kogi United FC is the only sport currently receiving funding, the amount allocated is far from adequate. Other sports in the state have been left to struggle, with no financial support, training facilities, or opportunities for athletes to develop their skills. This situation has led to a mass exodus of athletes from Kogi, as they seek better prospects in other states with more robust sports programs.
