Lagos State’s Archery in Schools Sports Development Programme is expanding its reach across the state, with reports saying it has introduced archery to more than 500 students. The programme is described as gaining momentum in multiple communities and is supported by sports staff involved in the initiative. One outlet reports that the effort has begun reaching students in additional communities, extending the programme beyond its earlier coverage. Another outlet states that it has been rolled out across six Lagos communities, involving not only students but also sports masters who help deliver the training.
According to the accounts, the programme also includes engagement with around 80 sports masters, indicating that it is building capacity alongside student participation. While details such as timing, specific venues, or the schools involved are not fully consistent across the reports, both sources agree on the overall scale of participation and the expansion to multiple communities within Lagos. The programme is presented as part of broader sports development efforts within the state’s education system.
