The Lagos Grand Commandery of Knights of St. John International (KSJI), Knights and Ladies Auxiliary has announced conclusion of arrangement for the forthcoming maiden edition of the Jericho Walk Sports Fiesta.

An initiative of the Grand President of the Lagos Grand Commandery, Brig. Gen. Joachim Chuks Amamgbo and the Lagos Grand Respected President, Lady Justina Chinwe Nwankwo, the Jerichio Walk, according to the organisation, is designed to ensure fitness of the elements of the Lagos Grand Commandery by creating a convivial atmosphere for sports and bonding.

Confirming the event, which is scheduled to take place on the 24th of May, 2025 at the Nigeria Army Resettlement Sports Centre, Charity Bus Stop, Oshodi, Amamgbo noted that the programme creates a rare opportunity for fitness, fraternity and fun.

In a statement issued yesterday, the president said, “It will help us to breakdown the walls of obesity, arthritis, diabetes and other health issues related to sedentary lifestyle”.

Corroborating this, Nwankwo said that Jericho Walk was designed to cut across all the age spectrum to ensure full participation.

In her words “the Novelty Football match between the Grand Presidents’ Team and the Grand Respected Presidents’ Team will be the crescendo of fun for this event”.

Expected to hold annually, the organisation added that the other sporting events will be Badminton, Chess, Table Tennis, Lawn Tennis, Scrabble, Draft, Nchorokoto and lots more.

In what analysts say will reveal the other side of the revered knights of the church, Jericho Walk promises to show the fun side of knighthood outside spirituality.
