The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has launched a technology and sports competition aimed at discovering and celebrating young talents in Ogun State.
The three-day event, tagged Tech Meets Basketball and organised by the Bosun Tijani Foundation, is scheduled to commence on Friday, December 19, at the Alake Sports Complex, Ijeja, Abeokuta.
According to the organisers, the tournament will feature basketball games alongside a technology showcase zone, cultural and entertainment performances, as well as stakeholder engagements involving government officials, private sector partners and youth-focused organisations.
In a statement, Tijani said the initiative is designed to further strengthen Ogun State’s growing reputation as a hub for youth innovation, culture, sports and talent development.
He noted that providing young people with platforms to express themselves through sports, creativity and technology helps build confidence, character and belief in national possibilities.
“When young people are given the opportunity to express themselves—through sports, creativity or technology—we unlock faith in themselves, character and possibility. This tournament is about celebrating talent, community and the promise of a brighter future,” Tijani said.
He added that the end-of-year season offers an opportunity for reflection, joy and togetherness, noting that the event seeks to bring that spirit to the basketball court.
