National Youths Games: Kano Govt approves air transportation of 170 contingents to Asaba.

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the air transportation for the state's contingent to the National Youth Games in Asaba, Delta State. 

Speaking shortly after a meeting with the Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Mustapha Kwankwaso, in Kano on Monday, the Acting Chairman of the Kano State Sports Commission, Ibrahim Fagge, explained that the decision was made by the governor as part of his promise to prioritize the athletes' safety, following a tragic road accident during the Gateway Games that claimed 22 lives.

Fagge revealed that the contingent, comprising 170 athletes, will compete in 17 sporting events, adding that they are expected to depart from Malam Aminu Kano International Airport on Tuesday, while two coaster buses with drivers have been deployed to Asaba to provide local logistics. 

Praising the governor's commitment to protecting the lives and property of Kano State citizens, Fagge urged the athletes to make the state proud.

He also called on residents to pray for their success during the 10-day event.
