NGX Group Champions Youth Empowerment Through Strategic Athletics School Games Partnership

In a bold move to foster youth empowerment and socioeconomic growth, Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has deepened its commitment to sports development by partnering with The Athletics School Games (TASG). This annual sporting event unites young athletes from private schools in Lagos, providing a platform for talent discovery, skill-building, and leadership development.

The initiative, which aligns with NGX Group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, underscores its belief in shaping well-rounded future leaders through discipline, teamwork, and resilience—qualities essential for success in today’s competitive global economy.

Building Champions On and Off the Track

Held on March 22 at the Yaba College of Technology Sports Complex, the event showcased the potential of young athletes, reinforcing the importance of sports as a vehicle for personal and professional growth. Participants competed in a variety of track and field events, including sprints, relays, long-distance races, high jump, and long jump. Beyond the medals, the event instilled a winning mindset, emphasizing perseverance, collaboration, and leadership.

Speaking on NGX Group’s involvement, Clifford Akpolo, Head of Group Communications and Partnerships, emphasized the broader impact of the initiative:

“As a key player in Nigeria’s financial ecosystem, NGX Group understands that sustainable development begins with investing in human capital. Our partnership with The Athletics School Games is about more than sports—it’s about instilling discipline, teamwork, and resilience in young Nigerians, preparing them for success in business, finance, and entrepreneurship. This initiative reflects our vision of building a resilient economy powered by capable individuals.”

Expanding Opportunities for Young Athletes

Seun Akinbohun, the initiator of The Athletics School Games, highlighted the program’s growing influence:

“TASG is designed to create pathways for young athletes to excel and be discovered by scouts. With expanded participation, diverse age categories, and a more experienced technical team, we are making a greater impact. It’s exciting to see young talents unlock their potential through this initiative.”

NGX Group’s Lasting Socioeconomic Impact

NGX Group’s commitment to youth and sports development goes beyond sponsorship. Through strategic collaborations like TASG, the Group is actively shaping Nigeria’s future workforce, demonstrating the power of private sector engagement in driving sustainable economic growth.

This partnership is a testament to NGX Group’s mission to foster an inclusive and dynamic economy—one where talent, discipline, and leadership converge to create lasting national impact.
