20th NSF: 21 States’ Contingents Arrive Benin

Twenty one states’ contingents have so far arrived Benin, Edo, for the 20th National Sports Festival (NSF) that will officially kick off yesterday.
Musa Ebomhiana, a Project Manager in the Media and Communication Sub-Committee for the games, said this in an interview with Tidesports source in Benin recently.
He said that six additional states arrived Benin to join the 15 states that had arrived on Friday for the festival tagged ‘Edo 2020’.
Ebomhiana said though Friday was designated for the arrival of states’ contingents for the 20th NSF, he said that additional states were still being expected before Tuesday, a day set for the festival’s opening ceremony.
He said that all is set for the successful hosting of the festival that is expected to commence on Sunday and last till April 14.
“The games are here and Edo is set for the biggest sports show piece in the country.
“All needed for the successful hosting of the NSF have been put in place by Edo Government,” Ebomhiana said.
Tidesports source reports that the 20th NSF suffered several postponements owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The festival is expected to see the athletes competing for 3000 medals from a total of 33 sports.
