The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, on Friday in Benin expressed Federal Government’s readiness to support the Edo Government in hosting the 20th National Sports Festival (NSF).
Dare, during a courtesy visit on Gov. Godwin Obaseki, said the Federal Government was ready and willing to provide financial support to the Edo Government.
“In spite of the hiccups being experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Government is ready and willing to provide financial support to the Edo Government in hosting the festival between April 2 and April 14.
“The process is ongoing and sometimes it takes time and it is our hope and desire to monitor, follow through and hasten the process.
“We are sure of the process and we have decided to work with the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu who heads the Local Organising Committee (LOC), to convey to all the 36 state governors and all their sports bodies that by April 2 camp for the festival will open,” he said.
