“On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I congratulate Team Delta for making us proud again by winning the 6th edition of the National Youth Games

“Your continuous emergence as winners of the competition is as a result of our strategic planning and huge investments in sports development.

He commended the Federal Ministry of Sports for organizing the Games and called for more stakeholders’ involvement in funding sports development in the country.

In the 2021 edition, which held in Ilorin from Oct. 10, 2021 to Oct. 19, 2021, Delta came first with 114 medals – 60 gold, 26 silver and 28 bronze.
