Participants praise CBN’s Usoro on Lagos Women Run

Date:

Lagos Women Run 2024 took place on Saturday with so much fun and excitement but it was the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Emem Usoro, who blew everyone away with her role on event day.

Ms Usoro  not only flagged off the race at the Tafawa Balewa Square, she ran  with the runners and completed her race  at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena Onikan.

Runners and dignitaries including the Director General of Lagos State Sports, Lekan Fatodu and African Table Tennis President, Barrister Enitan Oshodi, were in shock at the finish point in Onikan as the CBN Deputy Governor raced to the finish point in the 10km race.

Ms Usoro commended all the participants for making efforts to embrace fitness as she was given a certificate of participation like all other runners.

Oyo State-based Gbogbo Akinrodoye told our correspondent that she was elated about the role placed by the CBN deputy governor.

 “She finished her race and that is amazing. It is good to keep fit and we were all happy to see many dignitaries including men giving support to women event. It is a positive feeling,” she said.

Olayiwola Adeoba who was at the finish point to witness the race said he was also surprised about the overall turnout of the event.

 “To see a top government official at that level complete a 10km race is strange but commendable. Fitness is very good for everyone and when you see women do this, it’s a plus,” Adeoba said.

Liliane Ugueta, the Camerounian who emerged second was full of praises for the Lagos State Government.
