The Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) has strengthened its global sports drive and agenda with a high-level diplomatic engagement as the delegation from British Cycling paid a working visit to the Commission, reinforcing LSSC’s commitment to leveraging sports as an instrument for diplomacy, institutional learning, and sustainable development.

The delegation, led by Ms. Amy Gardner, Sport and Participation Director at British Cycling, held discussions with the management of the Commission on areas of collaboration, with emphasis on knowledge exchange and skill transfer aimed at enhancing technical capacity and the cycling culture in Lagos State.
Speaking during the visit, the Director General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Mr. Lekan Fatodu, described the engagement as a deliberate and outcome-focused step in Lagos State’s broader sports development strategy.

Fatodu also attributed the Commission’s growing international outlook and readiness for credible partnerships to the strong policy direction, institutional support, and enabling environment provided by the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration, stating that this has created the confidence and capacity for Lagos to engage credibly with international partners and pursue excellence across the sports value chain.
