Nigerian Taekwondo Federation left shattered by National Sports Festival delay Sunday, 14 February 2021
The Nigerian Taekwondo Federation (NTF) has said its athletes have been left shattered after the country s National Sports Festival was postponed for the fifth time.
Pressure has been put on the Government to set a definitive date for the multi-sport competition, which is seen as a key preparation event before this year s rearranged Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Sports Minister Sunday Dare hosted a meeting where it was agreed the Festival would not take place this month, after dates in March, November, December and January had already fallen through.
There are worries about the continued impact of the coronavirus pandemic and also over the availability of university accommodation in Benin City, the host of the Festival.
