Grange School from Ikeja and St Saviour's School from Ikoyi claimed the top spots at the second Pan African School Games. The competition ran for three days at James Hope College in Lekki, Lagos, involving over 400 pupils from 11 institutions. Punch reported that Grange School took the lead in the Under 13 and Under 15 divisions, while St Saviour's School dominated the Under 11 bracket. AllAfrica confirmed these results, noting that Grange School accumulated the highest point total in the older age groups.
Specific event results showed St Saviour's School winning swimming and athletics in the youngest category, sharing the football crown with Lagos Preparatory & Secondary School. Grange School captured swimming and athletics titles in the Under 13 and Under 15 groups. Riverbank School claimed the football victories in those two older brackets. Mikano Changan Motors provided a new bus to Grange School as a prize for its overall performance.
Seun Akinbohun, Busola Tejumola, and Aderoju Ope Ajayi organised the tournament. Both Punch and AllAfrica listed numerous corporate backers, including Prime Atlantic, Zenith Bank, and Flutterwave. The Lagos State Government and its sports commission also partnered with the organisers to support the initiative.
Travih Nunayon, the sports director at the Lagos State Sports Commission, represented Director General Lekan Fatodu. He stated that scouts were present to identify promising young athletes. AllAfrica noted that these athletes might be considered for national youth and intermediate competitions, with the commission planning to track their development. Nunayon added that discussions had started regarding the long-term sustainability of the event.
Aderoju Ope Ajayi, also the head of the Lagos State Aquatics Association, explained the tournament's goal. She said the founders, who are parents of athletes, wanted to help kids grow their athletic skills while continuing their studies. "We want children to look back and say this is where I was discovered," she told Punch. Participants and coaches praised the organisers, hoping future editions would attract additional schools.
