2025 NYG: Kano to Airlift 170 Athletes to Asaba

Posted : 27 August 2025

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has approved the air transportation of the state’s contingent to Asaba, Delta State, for the forthcoming National Youth Games (NYG).

 

The Acting Chairman of the State Sports Commission, Ibrahim Fagge, disclosed this shortly after a meeting with the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Alhaji Mustapha Kwankwaso, in Kano.

 

Fagge said the decision was in line with the Governor’s pledge to prioritize the safety of athletes representing the state at national events.

 

He recalled that 22 athletes from the state lost their lives in a road accident while returning from Ogun during the Gateway Games.

 

“The Governor is a humble leader who has shown concern and readiness to deploy all available means to protect the lives and property of Kano people,” he said.

 

Fagge confirmed that the state would present 170 athletes to compete in 17 sporting events at the Games.

 

He urged the athletes to strive to make the state proud and remain good ambassadors of the government and people of Kano throughout the competition.

 

The Acting Chairman added that two coaster buses with drivers had already been deployed to Asaba to assist the contingent and provide local logistics during the Games.

 

He called on residents of the state to pray for the athletes’ successful outing at the 10-day event.

 

The contingent is expected to depart Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, for Asaba on Tuesday.
