The Nigerian Government has maintained that activities at the ongoing National Sports Festival in Edo State will continue as planned.
The federal government’s stance comes against a threat in the form of an earlier announcement by the Local Organising Committee that the festival will end abruptly at 12noon on Thursday (today) over lack of funds.
