Joseph said this on Thursday at the 23rd Milo Basketball Basketball Championship Central Conference finals in Abuja.
“First, you are building a sound mind in a healthy body, the training exposes them to life but it also promotes good health, and opens a lot of opportunities for them. This tournament has been on for 23 years and we have discovered a lot of athletes through this. Some of them are playing at the highest level, and some are playing in the Chinese tournament.
Also, the Category Manager of Beverages, Nestlé Nigeria, Olutayo Olatunj said the championship started with less than 500 schools in 1999 but now brings together over 10,000 schools every year.“The school games have grown beyond being just a sport to a passion that helps to discipline the body and mind as well as set a solid foundation for success in life. While the game requires hard work, players also learn to exert their skills each time they participate.
Category Development Manager of Beverages, Nestlé Nigeria, Funmilola Oyewole added that Milo is at the forefront of sports development in Nigeria.
