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 for Tuesday, March 25, 2025, 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.
Signed
