“Even in real war situations, we have seen and read about instances where a sport event like football is organised between the warring parties.”
Chairman of the Blaugrana Sports Group, promoters of FC Barca Academy Lagos, Leslie Oghomienor, has advised the Federal Government to rename the National Stadium, Lagos as the Sam Okwaraji Stadium, saying the gesture would send a positive message to serving athletes.
The sports promoter, who applauded Delta State government for naming the Asaba Stadium after Stephen Keshi, appealed to Sports Minister, Sunday Dare, to urge the Federal Government to immortalize Okwaraji by putting his name on the Lagos Stadium, where he died on national duty. Meanwhile, Oghomienor has advised that the raging COVID-19 pandemic that has made it impossible for athletes all over the world to access sports arenas for training and competition should not stop sportsmen from practicing their trade.
