Ahead of the official opening ceremony of the 4th edition of the Adron Games Festival of Fitness, for the first time in the history of the Games, there will be a ceremonial lighting and movement of the Games’ torch from September 25 to 26, 2019
According to the initiator of the Games and Group Managing Director of Adron Homes and Properties, Oba Adetola Emmanuel, the Games’ torch will be lighted at the premises of the University of Ibadan, which is also the designated venue for this year’s Games on September 25 in a grand ceremony.
The Games’ torch will move round all Adron Homes and Properties offices in Nigeria, across all the six geo-political zones of Nigeria.
Adetola Emmanuel stressed that the aim of the Games’ torch moving across Adron’s offices in Nigeria is to sensitise the company’s staff and Nigerians as a whole.
“The sensitisation of the staff will be rounded off on September 26 ahead of the official opening ceremony of the 2019 Games which has been fixed for October 25, 2019.”
