The Lagos State Government on Friday revealed the facility of 10 seeing centres by means of the Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) and sponsorship from economic sectors.

The advancement was disclosed in a statement provided by Titi Oshodi-Eko, the LSSC Director of Public Relations.

According to her, the public-private sector viewing centres have actually kicked off in earnest throughout the state.

Oshodi, who kept in mind that the seeing centres were sufficiently secured, said the goal was to use the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 (AFCON) to unify homeowners of the state.

She said the viewing centres lie at Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere; Campos Mini Stadium, Lagos Island; Naval Yard, Ajegunle; and Abesan play area.

Others, according to the statement, are Bishop Aggrey Youth Centre, Mushin; Epe Recreation Centre, Italewa Ikorodu; Badagry Grammar School, Badagry; Agege Stadium, Agege; and Mobolaji Johnson Sports Center, Rowe Park, Yaba.

“When Nigeria handled Egypt in their first Group match on Tuesday, all the centres were filled with Nigerians coming out in their numbers to show their patriotic assistance for their darling Eagles, who ultimately won with 1-0,” it stated.

“The concept of the private sectors partnering with State Government is to bring football closer to Lagos locals which will be more fun and amusing as fans enjoy all the matches of the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 (AFCON).

“As part of this administration’s theme, the viewing centres will work as an opportunity to bring people together for a much better world and this is what LSSC is finishing with the AFCON Viewing Centres.”
