The state's head of service (HOS), Alhaji Dabarako Muhammed, told the participants who graced the Endurance Trek that such exercise would henceforth be a monthly one.

He emphasised the benefits of regular exercise to the body and called on the civil servants to make it a priority.

He pledged a special prize from the office of the head of service to the best ministry at the end of the six-day event.

The permanent secretary ministry of sports and youth development, Mrs Rhoda Ajiboye, in her remarks, thanked those who came out for the exercise.

She challenged them on the spirit of sportsmanship when the games begin proper on Monday at the state stadium complex.

Ajiboye said that the state governor is expected to officially declare the games open on Monday afternoon.
