Athletes: Results trickle in as Barrister Nyesom Wike FCT School Sports Festival Karu, Gwagwalada stand still

Action in the ongoing 2025 Barrister Nyesom Wike FCT School Sports Festival, resumed Monday February 11, 2024 at the eight zonal centres in Gwagwalada where events in track and field took centre stage, in all three categories – primary, junior and senior secondary.

In events that took place at the Gwagwalada centre, Catherine Kaaira of JSS Gwako won the 100m Girls ahead of Onah Daborah.

In the Boys 100m (heat), Ibrahim Mohammed of JSS Angwan Dodo won it ahead of Rabiu Yakubu of JSS Gwagwalada, whilst Bulus David of JSS Gwako finished 3rd.

Gamester of JSS Angwan Dodo Mallam Hassan Aimato later told reporters that the fiesta and its noble objective as envisioned by the FCT Minister, Barrister Wike are truly being realised, as more talents are being discovered on daily basis.

The fastest Girl in the 100m Heats, Caterine Kaura from JSS Gwako said hers was a deserved victory, and a product of hard work.

Earlier, Gamemaster of Junior Secondary School Gwagwalada, Odofin Adeola Commended all the think-tanks, and sponsors of the FCT School Sport for their foresight and giant strides, that will almost certainly take Sports in the nation’s capital, to greater heights.

One of the gamemasters of Fosla Academy attempted to either influence, or manipulate the result of the 400m Girls Heat 2, after the race coordinator had concluded that Gbemisola Jaiye of Fosla Academy (Karish) finished in the third position, behind Kelechi Oko of GSS Karu.

The gamemaster claimed that Oko slowed down her athlete, Jaiye; by impeding into her track, and insisted that the second position should be given to his student.

Today’s events at the Karu Centre will see the students battle it out in field events like Javelin, Shotput Long Jump and High Jump.
