Three-time Olympic medallist, Mary Onyali-Omagbemi, alongside former Super Eagles stars, Felix Owolabi and Tajudeen Disu, will headline the list of mentors at the inaugural sports camp organised by the Wamufat Youth Community Development Foundation (WYCDF), in collaboration with the Nigeria School Sport Federation (NSSF), which begins today.
Onyali, a five-time Olympian (1988–2004), is already in Abeokuta and will be joined by Owolabi and Disu to guide over 400 student participants from the six South-West states during the seven-day camp.
The programme, which blends sports training with education, mentorship, and personal development, will be held at the Agroterra Sports Complex in Joga-Orile, near Abeokuta, Ogun State.
In addition to the student athletes, more than 150 Game Masters from Ogun, Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo States will also take part, to inspire excellence in both sports and academics.
According to WYCDF, the initiative is designed to empower young people through structured sports activities, values-based coaching, and wellness education. The camp aligns with the foundation’s broader mission of using sports as a tool for positive change, particularly in underserved communities.
Participants will engage in daily athletics training, motivational sessions, sports drills, mentoring, and leadership development workshops.
NSSF President Olabisi Joseph commended WYCDF for initiating the programme and pledged the federation’s full support to ensure its success. She emphasized that the camp aligns with the International School Sports Federation (ISF)’s vision of nurturing well-rounded individuals.
The camp will also include sessions on modern sports techniques, anti-doping awareness, health education, safeguarding, and other relevant topics – all aimed at equipping participants with the tools to thrive both on and off the field.
