The national coordinator of the marathon, Jacob Onu, announced this yesterday, saying the change in date was due to logistics reasons.

“On behalf of our host city, Abuja, our sponsors, and other partners we sincerely apologize for having to shift the date.

“We are aware that it will cause some inconvenience but our aim is to organize a top-notch marathon that everyone will be proud of. We cannot afford to do things in half measures”

“For every inconvenience, kindly bear with us,” Onus stated in a press release made available to our correspondent last night.
