A construction, project management and sports infrastructure development company, Pecksgrey Nigeria Limited, has called for the replication of the recently commissioned sports complex in Lagos in schools to revitalise the dwindling school sports fortunes in Nigeria.

The complex, spanning 11.3 hectares, includes 36 schools, a fire service station, health centre, ICT hubs, and a stadium with 19 mini football pitches.

It extends beyond infrastructure to open doors to opportunities for thousands of young Nigerians.

Commissioned recently by President Bola Tinubu, the Tolu School Complex comprises 36 schools handled by about six contractors, including Pecksgrey Nigeria Limited.

The firm was responsible for constructing nine schools, which include the football pitch, seating arena, changing rooms, and a tartan track.

According to the Group Project Manager at Pecksgrey Nigeria Limited, Timilehin Awujoola, out of the nine schools, two were new constructions and four were renovated, one of which is a four-winged school of 48 classrooms, with 12 class rooms per wing.

Notably, two new constructions required pile foundations, which were meticulously planned and executed by the firm’s engineers.

The project, initiated in December 2023 and completed in late 2025, underwent thorough soil investigations and site inspections to ensure durability and quality.

In terms of sports complex development, Pecksgrey Nigeria Limited emphasised the importance of facilities like the football pitch, seating arena, and running track to cater to students’ sporting needs.

The project’s unique features include top-notch infrastructure, drainage systems, and security measures to create a safe and conducive environment for sports activities.

Pecksgrey Nigeria Limited supports the replication of such facilities to other parts of Lagos, citing the need to provide quality education and safe learning environments for the growing population.

The firm also offers after-service maintenance as part of its contract to ensure the longevity and efficiency of its projects.
