Kwara State Deputy Governor, Kayode Alabi, has said the state will beat hosts Delta to second place at the forthcoming National Sports Festival, which holds in Asaba from November 28 to December 10.
Alabi stated this while receiving the festival's Torch of Unity at Government House on Thursday.

While presenting the Torch of Unity to the Deputy Governor, Mallam Akim Saka, who led the team to Kwara, said that by receiving the torch, the state had confirmed its participation at the festival.
Meanwhile, Bola Mogaji has charged the coaches and athletes of the commission to redouble their efforts in training in preparation for the festival..
