City Sports Club Pledges Commitment to Grassroots Sports Development

Posted : 02 June 2025

The City Sports Club, Abuja, has reaffirmed its commitment to grassroots sports development in alignment with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Initiative for Nigeria’s Sports Economy (RHINSE).

 

Speaking after the club’s general election held in Abuja on Saturday, the newly elected President, Thomas Oloundare-Sunday, emphasized the importance of sports in national development.

 

“Sports clearly hold a strategic place in President Tinubu’s agenda,” he said. “We are ready to key into this by deepening our commitment to grassroots tennis development and building a vibrant, healthy community.”

 

The president noted that the club is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to promote and develop tennis, particularly in the FCT, in accordance with international best practices.

 

Founded nearly 20 years ago, the club has evolved into a hub for physical fitness, elite networking, and community engagement.

 

The outgoing Vice President, Sylvester Uzoama, highlighted some of the club’s recent achievements, including the organization of several inter-club and inter-city tournaments and hosting coaching clinics for children.

 

He explained that these efforts have not only positively engaged youth but have also contributed to tennis development as a mainstream sport in the FCT.

 

He added that the club is currently developing its permanent site to improve infrastructure and provide members with a dedicated, wellness-oriented environment.

 

As the new executives assume office, the club looks set to build on this foundation and continue driving grassroots sports development across the country.

 

The newly elected executives are: Sunday Olorundare Thomas (President), Joseph Adejo (Vice President), Chukwunonso Nwabueze (Secretary General), and Fatima Okunlola (Assistant Secretary General). Others include Okechukwu Okeke (Financial Secretary), Rose Abu (Treasurer), Nkem Achinivu (Captain), Tony Udofa (Vice Captain), Chizomam Opara (Welfare Officer), Pius Ogwuche (Provost), and Mohammed Baba Ali.
