The governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has commissioned the newly renovated lawn tennis courts at the Lagos State Public Service Club (LSPSC), Ikeja.
The upgrade of the facility was funded by the governor as a tribute to his late brother, former Osun State Governor, Isiaka Adeleke, fondly known as “Serubawon”, who was once an active member of the club.
The President of the Lagos State Public Service Club, Comrade Olukayode Odunuga, praised Adeleke for fulfilling his earlier commitment to rehabilitate the tennis section of the club, which he made during a visit last year.
