“There is nothing we can do but put off the event. We cannot put participants at risk and most especially we have to fall in line with government directives for people to keep social distance,” Moses Ebahor who is the chairman of the organising committee said.

Among those to be honored at the postponed event was Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, his deputy Philip Shaibu, Ned Nwoko, President, Prince Ned Nwoko Foundation, Sunday Dare, Minister of Youth and Sports Development and Vanguard’s Sports Editor, Tony Ubani
