Wike set to honour FCT athletes

FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, is set to honour victorious athletes that recently represented the capital territory in various games.

Sporting Tribune reports that the honour is in recognition of the athletes’ performance at the 2022 National Sports Festival and the 7th and 8th National Youth Games and will be held at the Cyprian Ekwensi Art and Culture, Area 10, Abuja Thursday, January 16th, 2025.

The event is being organised to appreciate Team FCT’s great acts of sacrifice, patriotism and determination demonstrated at the Games.

A statement to the event which was made to Sporting Tribune read, “The Minister is committed to the development of sports. He has always reiterated that he would continue to create an enabling environment for sports to thrive as part of President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s focus to engage youths to help discover their potential and empower them to be better.

“The historic performance of the team during their participation at the Games (the National Sports Festival and the Youth Games) is what led to Barrister Nyesom Wike’s approval that a special reception be held in their honour.”
