The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has pledged continued support for sports development and announced plans to honour athletes who recently brought glory to the FCT through their outstanding performances in various competitions.

In a statement released by the FCT Sports Department on Tuesday in Abuja, Wike revealed that a special reception will be held on Thursday to celebrate athletes who represented the FCT at the 2022 National Sports Festival and the 7th and 8th National Youth Games.
