Lagos state as of the time of this write up was place third behind Rivers State leaving Delta state in the lead. This shows that as the host state, she has every diplomatic antics to manuever over to her advantage considering her preparation of hosting this particular competition.
She has equally gone round the federation in search of the best athletes as to beef up her participating team in the competition. Most of the medal winning athletes from Rivers and Bayelsa states are part of the present Lagos Eko 2012 athlete team.
No doubt, Lagos State is known for her sports prowess, ordinarily, not to talk of when she is hosting the nation. Her natural sports men and women will sweat out all the strength that gave them life. They have before winning the hosting right knows what is at stake, if they do not replicate what Rivers State did at the 17th National Sports Festival at the Garden City games in Port Harcourt.
