All is now set for the national finals of the maiden edition of the Maltina School Games, following the successful conclusion of the state finals in Abuja, Kano, Anambra and Lagos states.

The Sports Complex of the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos would be a beehive of activities again, as Nigeria’s future world athletics champions would be testing their pace, might and resilience from March 9th-11th, 2020.

This introduction into the school calendar by Maltina brand was designed to promote and foster the development of national unity and raise active kids through sports, while impacting over 20 million school children of both participating and non-participating schools.

If the sterling performances recorded at the state finals are anything to go by, then the national finals should witness even more fireworks.
