The collaboration originated from the need to bring exposure to the youth of Lagos state, equipping them with skills relevant in the esports and gaming ecosystem as well as in digital technology generally bringing to bear the fundamentals of STEAM.
The LSEA is a non-profit, full-fledged sports association established by the Lagos State Government under the auspices of the Lagos State Sports Commission with the goal of creating and sustaining a thriving esports and gaming ecosystem in Lagos State and Nigeria.
The partnership is coming timely, ahead of the formal commencement of the IFERS University of Esports in January 2022 and which affords the youth of Lagos and Nigeria the opportunity to be educated in a world class environment and taught by prominent and renowned computer scientist, educator and futurist, Prof. Netwon Lee who is an author and administrator in the field of education and technology commercialization.
“I am very pleased by this agreement between LSEA and IFERS. It’s been only months since we inaugurated a new board and initiatives like this justify our belief and faith in Emmanuel and his team,” Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Sola Aiyepeku said. “This partnership opens up new opportunities to further deepen the ecosystem of e-sports in Lagos. We are all looking forward to all the exciting things that can happen with this partnership. E-sports is the nexus of sports, digital technology and creativity.”
