Others are weightlifting, table tennis, handball, golf, track and field event, boxing and taekwondo.

“The first date of the festival was Oct. 10 but it could not hold owing to some circumstances beyond the organisers’ control.

“Again, there is a recent postponement from Oct. 24 to Nov. 2, 2016 due to the civil service week in the state,’’ he said.

Okenwa said that the festival would hold in the three senatorial zones of the state between Nov. 2 and Nov. 16 for zonal eliminations, while the finals would hold on a date to be announced later.

The chairman said that the event would hold in Enugu East Senatorial Zone between Nov. 2 and Nov. 5 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu.
