Here are 3 major ways the Maltina School Games is set to impact over 20 million Nigerian school children;

Participating secondary schools across Nigeria will be positively impacted as they stand to win sports kits in addition to trophies and medals. 

The Maltina School Games will also see grand winners in the following categories;

2. It Promotes the Overall Wellness of Secondary School Students

Studies have revealed that children who do not participate in sports or other physical activities are more likely to grow up to be inactive adults. Therefore, participation of students in school sports competitions such as the Maltina School Games will help to develop their agility, coordination, and balance. Exercise also helps reduce stress levels and anxiety, giving them an opportunity to relax and share happiness with their team.

3. It Promotes Teamwork in Secondary School Students

It provides a sense of belonging and being part of a team or group. Students can work together, share time and other resources, and learn to cope with success and failure as a team. These interactions facilitate bonding and lasting friendships with their schoolmates and others. 

Jordi Borrut Bel, Managing Director of Nigerian Breweries Plc., commented on the campaign saying, “The Maltina School Games is a vital platform designed to promote the development of children, from improving their social and leadership skills, to bettering their wellbeing through sports. It also contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, which is to ensure the health and wellbeing for all, with a focus on young school children.”
