Lagos State Governor’s wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, under her pet project, Lagos Boy Child Initiative, has organised a talent hunt competition for boys with the aim of identifying their hidden talents, nurturing and showcasing them to the world.
In a statement, yesterday, the competition, which aligns with the several pillars of THEMES Plus agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration took place on Friday and had participants within the age range of nine to 16 years carefully selected from Badagry Division of Lagos State.

The keenly-contested competition was done in two categories: Creative and Visual Arts and Science and Technology under which we have Robotics and Mechatronics. The panel of judges was selected from professionals, who assessed the boys without showing fear or favour. The areas of focus were chosen because boys are believed to be naturally energetic and these areas are appropriate means of expressing themselves.
The winners of the talent hunt competition will be announced at the forthcoming second edition of the parenting boy child initiative scheduled to hold today, August 29, 2023, which will focus on sensitising parents on impacting values and positive influences in boys.
