The Bosun Tijani Foundation will be hosting a three-day youth sports and development event from December 19 through 21, to mark the end of the year holiday season.
The event is scheduled to hold at the Alake Sports Complex, Ikeja, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The tournament, according to a statement obtained by Sporting Tribune, will bring the spirit of celebration, community, and togetherness onto the basketball court, while showcasing young talents from across Ogun State and beyond.
The statement reads,” Inspired by the vision of Dr. ‘Bosun Tijani, Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, the tournament reflects a broader commitment to youth development beyond traditional pathways.’
The theme of the tournament is “Tech Meets Basketball,” as the initiative combines competitive sport with creativity, technology, and community engagement, creating a joyful and inclusive platform where young people can express themselves, connect, and celebrate the close of the year.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Dr. Tijani highlighted the importance of creating spaces that allow young people to celebrate, belong, and grow.
He said, “The end-of-year season is a time for reflection, joy, and togetherness, and we want to bring that spirit to the basketball court. When young people are given the opportunity to express themselves through sports, creativity, or technology.
We unlock confidence, character, and possibility. This tournament is about celebrating talent, community, and the promise of a brighter future.”
The tournament will feature competitive matches among youth teams, alongside a vibrant fan village, cultural and entertainment activities, tech showcase zones, and stakeholder engagements involving government, private sector actors, and youth-focused organisations, all designed to create a festive and memorable experience for participants and spectators alike.
The Bosun Tijani Foundation Festive Basketball Tournament is expected to attract young people, families, sports enthusiasts, and community leaders, reinforcing Ogun State’s growing reputation as a hub for youth-focused innovation, culture, and sports development, while closing the year on a note of unity, celebration, and hope.
