Oyo resuscitates Civil Service games

In its bid to improve the physical fitness and general health of workers and government officials in the state, the Oyo State government has re-introduced the moribund Public Service Games.

Head of Service in the state, Mr. Soji Eniade, while inaugurating the 2017 Annual Public Service games committee, explained that the re-introduction of the public/civil Service Games will rekindle the old tradition to boost the morale and spirit of all Civil Servants, as well as serve as the required tonic for enhanced performance.

He noted that one of the major problems facing sports in Nigeria was lack of funds and posited that sports should be privately driven, emphasizing that sport was 70 percent business and 30 percent entertainment.

The Commissioner for Youth & Sports, Mr. Abayomi Oke in his remarks noted that the Civil Service games, which is billed to come up annually among civil servants, will create an atmosphere of social interaction and enhance cordiality among the workforce for better efficiency at work.
