The recently unveiled track and field school sports campaign, Maltina School Games, will this week begin its State Preliminaries across schools in four states including Lagos, Abuja, Anambra, and Abuja.

The State Preliminaries across Nigeria will see simultaneous action of students competing in different sporting categories including track events – 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 4x100m relay, and field events – long jump, high jump, javelin, and shot put.

The grand prizes to be won in the Maltina School Games include the Overall Best State (OBS) and the Overall Best Athlete (OBA). The Overall Best State is the participating state which has the most award winners (schools) from their state during the national finals. The State will win N5 million worth of support that will be split to empower the winning schools from the state with sporting equipment.

The Overall Best Athlete is the participant who gets the most Gold medals or the best combination of Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals for his/her school. The OBA will win a scholarship worth N1.5 million to any university of choice.
