“I will always support anything Governor Ododo is involved in, especially initiatives that have a direct impact on our young people,” he said.
The APC candidate assured the organizing committee of his support for the Governor Ododo All Campus Games 2026, expressing optimism that the event would provide a platform for students to showcase their sporting abilities, build relationships and contribute to the development of sports in the state.
The visit formed part of the organizing committee’s ongoing engagements with key stakeholders ahead of the Governor Ododo All Campus Games 2026, aimed at mobilising support and building broad participation for the sporting event.
The committee has continued to seek the backing of political leaders, government officials, traditional institutions and other stakeholders as preparations intensify for the games.
The Governor Ododo All Campus Games 2026 is expected to bring together students from tertiary institutions across Kogi State in a celebration of sports, youth development, unity and healthy competition.
