Special sports athletes have staged a protest in Lagos over their exclusion from the forthcoming 2022 National Sports Festival in Delta State.
The Para-athletes blocked the entrance to the National Stadium, Surulere, causing gridlock on the Ojuelegba-Iponri road. The athletes carried placards conveying different messages, and called on the sports minister Sunday Dare not to exclude them from the biennial festival.
The festival will hold from November 28 to December 10.
