The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Kano Chapter, has called on the Kano state government to take measures to immortalise the 22 athletes who tragically lost their lives in a road accident while returning from the Ogun Gateway Games in 2025. The association's Secretary, Mr. Muhammad Nur-Tijani, emphasized the importance of honoring the memory of these athletes in a statement released on Sunday in Kano, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the incident. SWAN believes that recognizing their contributions to sports in the state would serve as a fitting tribute to their legacy.
