After months of waiting for the Ministry of Youth and Sports to announce a new date for commencement of the 2020 Edo state sports festival, www.theajasanews can report that the Game is now scheduled to hold in the month of November this year.

The Game was initially billed to commence in March this year but was forced to be put off because of the covid-19 pandemic which led to the shutting down of all sporting activities in the country for several months

Though there is no fixed date yet, but the National Council on Sports is expected to meet next week in Lagos state to deliberate and fix a proper date within November for the commencement of the biannual sports fiesta.

And to ensure adherence to Covid-19 safety guidelines as stipulated by the Presidential Task Force, the Organizers have concluded plans for the Games to hold in two batches. The first batch is expected to conclude and go back to their base before the next batch commences.
