The Minister who stated that campaign for grassroots Sports is already gathering momentum also described the event as an initiative that will help determine the future of Sports in Nigeria.“Here gathered are future Olympians, future African Champions, Common Wealth Champions etc”.

He promised that Nigerian Olympic Committee(NOC) will always support the Nigerian Gymnastics Federation towards encouraging these promising children gymnast who are future Olympians.
Highpoint of the event was the presentation of medals to children participants that distinguished themselves from gymnastic displays.
