In a memorable event at the office of the Director General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, TECNO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to kickstart a project aimed at refurbishing a local football pitch in Lagos. This signing marks the beginning of TECNO's commitment to transforming underutilised fields into state-of-the-art training centres, nurturing raw talent into future stars, and providing underserved communities with a platform to achieve their potential.
Lagos, the city of aquatic splendour, plays a pivotal role in this ambitious initiative. The signing ceremony, witnessed by key stakeholders, members of the Lagos State Sports Commission, and various government agencies, signifies a new era for grassroots football in Nigeria. This project embodies TECNO's dedication to impactful change through technology and community-driven campaigns.
Chidi Okonkwo, Managing Director of Transsion Holdings, expressed the essence of this initiative, stating, "The signing of this MOU is a declaration of not only interest but also a commitment from TECNO. Just like our mantra, TECNO will Stop at Nothing to ensure that every Nigerian and Lagos talent is empowered to fulfil their potential through technology and impactful campaigns such as this."
The Director General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, expressed delight with the project, stating, "Lagos helps dreams come alive, and this gesture from TECNO is giving flight to the dreams of stardom of the average Lagos boy or girl who wants to be the next Victor Osimhen or Asisat Oshoala."
Sparked by the triumph and enthusiasm of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, this project demonstrates TECNO's belief in the power of football to inspire and unite communities. The project aims to revitalise 100 football pitches across Africa, with Lagos being the first beneficiary. These efforts will transform overlooked grounds into vibrant, safe spaces where young footballers can hone their skills and chase their dreams.
As the first of many such initiatives across Africa, this project sets the stage for impactful changes that resonate beyond the football pitch. TECNO's commitment to enhancing football infrastructure reflects a genuine effort to bring about meaningful transformation, one pitch at a time.
The journey has just begun. With this MOU signing, TECNO is paving the way for a future where young talents from underserved communities can shine brightly.
