The Japanese Government has donated judo equipment to the Lagos State Judo Association (LSJA).
The donation is in fulfilment of the promise made in 2021.
At the presentation of the first set of equipment to the LSJA, the Japanese ambassador to Nigeria, Matsunaga Kazuyoshi said; “they are ready to improve the profile of judo in Nigeria.”
He said Lagos would continue to benefit from the gesture of Japanese government since the donation would not be a one-off event.
Kazuyoshi specifically hailed the efforts of the Chairman of LSJA, Sheriff Hammed whose vision and passion for the sport has brought vibrancy to judo in the state.
