Justifying the reasons behind the postponement from the initial date of December 3 to Dec-18th, Dare said there was need for better precautionary measures against COVID-19, bearing in mind the expected influx of holiday makers during the festive period, as agreed between the Ministry, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and the host state.
Recall that the National Sports Festival tagged ‘EDO 2020’ was originally slated to hold early this year but for the outbreak of the COVID-19 which necessitated the postponement and suspension of all sporting activities to guard against the spread of the corona virus nationwide.
