Itiako Ikpokpo, the lead consultant at Dunamis-Icon Limited, organisers of the games believes that such an A-class entertainment outing is part of building a wholesome youth experience of sports, games and orderliness.

“The primary reason for bringing these young ones to the games is sports, but we also want them to learn ordeliness through the choreographed performances at the opening ceremony and now the entertainment to have them experience leisure and relaxation,” Mr Ikpokpo explained.
