The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) female football team has clinched a significant victory, emerging as champions in the grand finale of the 10th Edition of the Head of Service (HOS) Games. The thrilling final, held at the Onikan Stadium on Tuesday, 2nd December 2025, saw the LASUBEB side edge out a formidable Public Service Office team with a confident 1–0 scoreline, cementing their place as the top female football team within the state’s public service.

The match was a showcase of exceptional grit, disciplined strategy, and undeniable teamwork, with the LASUBEB players taking control of the pitch early on. Their coordinated effort and relentless offensive drive culminated in a well-executed goal that ultimately sealed the game and electrified the large crowd of supporters present. The triumph not only celebrated their sporting prowess but also mirrored the Board’s foundational commitment to fostering excellence across all facets of its operations.

​This hard-fought win serves as a powerful testament to LASUBEB's broader culture of resilience, innovation, and high performance values that are continuously instilled across its workforce and operational mandates. Executive Chairman of LASUBEB, Dr. Hakeem Babatunde Shittu, expressed his profound excitement at the team’s success, emphasising the HOS Games' role as a unifying platform. The competition successfully brought together Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in a spirited display of talent, wellness, and camaraderie.

​Dr. Shittu affirmed that the victory was a powerful demonstration of the Board’s determination to lead and excel both on and off the field. He reiterated the Board's core responsibility of providing quality free basic education in Lagos State, but stressed that its commitment extends beyond cognitive development. This win, he noted, validates the Board's holistic approach, which champions initiatives that inspire teachers and learners, elevate morale, and strengthen collaboration and sportsmanship within the public service and public primary schools.

The LASUBEB Chairman highlighted that the Board’s activities deliberately incorporate the psychomotor aspect of learning alongside the cognitive and affective domains. The success at the HOS Games is a tangible symbol of this commitment, showcasing a workforce that is well-rounded, determined, and dedicated to excellence in all areas. The victory will undoubtedly serve as a major morale booster, reinforcing the spirit of collaboration and high achievement throughout the entire LASUBEB system.
