The National Sports Commission (NSC) has confirmed that His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will officially flag off the Unity Torch movement at a ceremony scheduled today at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Commission described the Unity Torch as a symbol of peace and unity, emphasizing its significance in fostering national cohesion.
“The Unity Torch, which symbolizes peace and unity, will be taken around the capitals of all states of the Federation to herald the National Sports Festival and transmit the message of peace and brotherhood among the people of Nigeria,” the official communication stated.
The Festival, which is Nigeria’s premier multi-sport event, will bring together athletes from across the country to compete in various sporting disciplines, promoting talent discovery, unity, and sportsmanship.
Recall that across the nation, zonal eliminations took place a few weeks ago, as State contingents jostled for slots to compete at the main event in May.
The NSC once again confirmed that the 22nd National Sports Festival (Gateways Games, Ogun 2024) will be held in Abeokuta, Ogun State, from May 16 to 30, 2025.
