The Torch of Unity, which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu flagged off in Abuja on March 25, has been carried across all states in the federation and is en route to Ogun State, host of the 2025 edition of the festival.

The 22nd National Sports Festival, tagged “The Gateway Games Ogun 2025”, is scheduled from May 16 to 30, 2025.

Sanwo-Olu expressed confidence that the event would be a “spectacular celebration of talent, resilience, and unity.”
