Capital Express Assurance Sponsored FASU 2024 Games Ends in Style

The 2024 FASU Games sponsored by Capital Express Assurance Limited came to an end amid fanfare at the Lagos State University (LASU).

This landmark event brought together student-athletes from universities across Africa to compete in a wide array of sports, promoting excellence, camaraderie, and the spirit of African unity.

Sports is a powerful avenue for cultivating leadership, discipline, and resilience. By insuring these athletes, we are not just providing financial coverage—we are offering peace of mind, allowing these exceptional young individuals to focus solely on their performance, knowing that they are protected.”

 

In her remark at the closing ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, thanked participants and officials, commending their skills, resilience, and sportsmanship. She praised LASU for co-hosting the event and expressed gratitude to the sponsors, noting that the mission of the games extends beyond the field.

Her counterpart, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, Mni, Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU) highlighted the successful collaboration between LASU and UNILAG in delivering an exciting event for Africa.

She noted that Lagos 2024 showcased the unifying power of sports across borders and thanked the state governor for his support. She urged everyone to continue fostering unity, competition, and excellence.

She thanked the hosts for their exceptional hospitality and celebrated the record-breaking performances throughout the event.

She urged all participants to carry forward the spirit of friendship and unity fostered during the games, emphasising a shared love for sports. In recognition of their contributions, she officially designated the two Vice-Chancellors as Matrons of FASU 2024.
