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.
