At the National Youth Games happening in Asaba, Delta state, there’s a special young athlete to keep an eye on. Her name is Funmilayo Oyero, and she’s only 8 years old! Funmilayo is from Lagos, which is a big city in Nigeria.
Funmilayo is the youngest athlete from Lagos at these Youth Games, which started on September 23. What’s really interesting is that she’s been playing golf since she was just one year old! That’s quite impressive.
The Lagos state government thanked Funmilayo’s parents for letting their daughter represent Lagos in the games.
