ORGANISERS of the maiden Lagos Media Marathon on Tuesday called for volunteers to join in midwifing the historic event slated for May.

The Vice Chairman, Organising Committee, Debo Oshundun, called for volunteers to join in some key aspects that would further help with a seamless organisation.

“The aspects in which volunteers are being expected include medical, transportation, steward, welfare, logistics and technical.

“We are asking for interested volunteers to come on board in this historic journey that will place Lagos and indeed Nigeria in the history books as far as road races and sports are concerned in Africa.

“We will like to have genuine volunteers who are willing to contribute their own little quota toward uplifting their society,’’ he said.

According to Oshundun, graduates, Nigeria Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, as well as undergraduates in different tertiary institutions, are solely eligible to apply as volunteers for the Lagos Media Marathon.

“For this edition, those are the cadre we want so that we can have a quality workforce.

“Certificates, quality kits as well as stipends for meals and transportation are some of the benefits in place for selected volunteers.

“There are several benefits in place for our Volunteers but we don’t want those who are only concerned about getting Money.

“Those interested in volunteering during the Lagos Media Marathon are to send their CVS to info@lagosmediamarathon.com.

“Registration for participation in the Lagos media Marathon is still ongoing on www.lagos mediamarathon.com.

“Also, physical forms are available at the Marathon office at the Teslim Balogun Stadium or the SWAN Secretariat inside the National Stadium, Surulere,’’ he said. (NAN)
