Edo 2020: FG didn’t approve N4bn for festival -Daniel

By George Aluo

The news that the federal government approved a whooping N4bn for the on going Edo 2020 National Sports Festival has been dismissed as fake.

Media aide to Sports minister, Kola Daniel in a chat with newstap.com.ng stated that the FG never approved such amount for the two week sports fiesta, even as he dismissed it as fake news which the public must disregard.

In Daniel’s words…”No N4billion was ever approved by the Presidency for the National Sports Festival…Such information is completely false with no shred of evidence and must be treated as such by the unsuspecting public.”

Daniel stressed that he is taken aback by the fact that a medium could publish such outright falsehood, even as he said the Sports ministry and the minister in particular, Sunday Dare, deserve commendation for ensuring that the festival went ahead despite the challenges faced by Covid -19.
