Engineer Olaiya said that part of the activities lined up include various forms of indoor and outdoor games, recreational games, horseback riding and entertainment activities for both the young and old.
The convener stated that the event, certified by the International Olympic Council (IOC) for its impact, is not just to harmonise all Ilorin residents, but also a “platform where sports meets entertainment and avails participants the opportunity to network”.
