He said the tournament, which would be its maiden edition, would have each state sending five athletes.
“We want states to use the tournament as a national trial for the National Youth Games (NYG), slated for Ilorin in September,” he told NAN.
“The event is also geared at reawakening the interest of young athletes in the sport,’’ the TSFN secretary-general said.
Ayo and Kokowa are expected to feature for the first time in the National Youth Games at its 2017 edition in Ilorin.
