He also urged spectators and fans to support the young athletes representing their states in various sporting activities.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday, by the Special Adviser (Media) to the minister, Diana-Mary Nsan, and made available to journalists.
The statement disclosed that the minister officially declared the National Youth Games open on Thursday at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, the capital of Delta State.
“As the name of the Games implies, this competition is strictly for the youth. We are committed to providing a platform for young athletes to showcase their talents in a fair and transparent environment. The technical team has been instructed to ensure that only athletes within the age bracket of 15 years and below participate.
“Age cheating undermines the purpose of these Games, and we will take firm measures to prevent it,” Enoh said.
