The host, Delta, will undoubtedly be declared the winner of the ongoing 21st National Sports Festival (NSF) in Asaba by the conclusion of events on Saturday.
The NSF started on Nov. 28, with more than 14,000 male and female athletes from across the country competing in 38 events.
But, with the latest medal table released by the Main Organising Committee (MOC) Thursday evening, the hosts are coasting to an unprecedented win.
They have 194 gold, 116 silver and 59 bronze medals, with Bayelsa trailing them with 78 gold, 57 silver, and 54 bronze medals.
Edo, the runners-up of the 2020 edition, which they hosted in April 2021, is placed third with 38 gold, 51 silver, and 97 bronze medals.
Zamfara, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the list table, with no medal colour to their name.
They had finished in 30th place in the 20th edition with one gold and two bronze medals.
