Duro Ikhazuagbe
The 20th edition of the National Sports Festival was officially declared open yesterday by Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who was scheduled to perform the ceremony in addition to inaugurating the refurbished Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium complex was unavoidably absence as his plane could not land in the city’s airport due to the storms that accompanied the torrential rain that nearly marred activities yesterday evening.
Speaking while performing the opening ceremony of Edo 2020, Gov Obaseki recalled the events that led to the creation of the National Sports Festival were aimed primarily at unifying the country after the bitter experience of the civil war.
