The ‘Planter’ of Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide and Adamimogo FM Nigeria, Prophet Sam Olu-Alo, has donated some two million naira to an Ekiti State community in order to develop sports in the grassroots.
The cash prize was expended on secondary schools across the Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State, who participated in the football tournament organised by the Prophet in his hometown, Ido-Ekiti.
Speaking after the match that saw Elo High School, Ayetoro Ekiti defeating Notredame Grammar School, Usi Ekiti by 2-1 in the final, Olu-Alo urged youths in the community to embrace sports, saying there’s a current shift in the sector that will make them for life.
He awarded Elo High School with the sum of N200,000; Notredame Grammar School with N150,000, N100,000 to third position and N50,000 to fourth position.
He also awarded individual performances with plaques and cash prices, all total about N2,000,000.
Also speaking, the Coordinator of Sam Olu-Alo Military Football Competition, Hon Deji Ogunbusuyi hailed the Prophet for sponsoring the initiative, saying this would reduce crime and develop sports activities in the community.
However, Ogunbusuyi lamented over the lackadaisical attitudes of some Schools’ principal officers, who don’t invest in their students concerning sports but still want to cheat them when the students are awarded monetarily for their hard work.
He urged them to turn over a new leaf and throw their weight behind their students whenever they want to participate in competitions.
