In a release signed by the Public Relations Officer, Comrade Gabriel Edicha and made available to the Press in Lokoja said this was announced at the closing ceremony of the event at Onikan stadium, Lagos on Sunday, 13th November 2022.
Kogi State entered for six competitive events in this year’s event, namely, Traditional Board Game, Indigenous fabrics and fashion parade, Children’s music and dance, Drama (musical), Children’s essay writing and Archery.
The state contingent gave a good account of themselves in all the events.
