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 the ‘Tech Meets Basketball’ tournament and organised under the Bosun Tijani Foundation, will begin on Friday, December 19, at the Alake Sports Complex, Ijeja, Abeokuta.
The tournament will feature basketball matches, 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, the minister said the initiative is designed to further strengthen Ogun State’s growing reputation as a hub for youth innovation, culture, sports, and talent development.
“When young people are given the opportunity to express themselves—through sports, creativity, or technology—we unlock faith in themselves and the nation, character, and possibility. This tournament is about celebrating talent, community, and the promise of a brighter future.
“The end-of-year season is a time for reflection, joy, and togetherness, and we want to bring that spirit to the basketball court,” Tijani stated.
