Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has confirmed she will attend the closing ceremony of the third edition of the National Para Games in Abuja.

The event is scheduled to take place at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, where the games have been held.

This was disclosed by the National Sports Commission (NSC) in a statement issued by Kola Daniel, Special Assistant on Media in the Office of the Director-General, and made available to journalists on Thursday in Abuja.

According to the statement, the First Lady will serve as Special Guest of Honour at the closing ceremony, which is set to hold on Friday inside the main bowl of the stadium.
