As the Gateway Games 2024 enters a crucial phase, the medal standings reveal fierce competition among Nigeria’s top sporting states.

As of 12:00 PM on May 26, 2025, a total of 1,047 medals have been awarded across various events — 318 gold, 307 silver, and 422 bronze.

Top of the Table

Delta State remains firmly in control of the medal table with an impressive 66 gold, 39 silver, and 59 bronze, bringing their total to 164 medals.

Bayelsa State holds second place with 109 medals, including 45 gold, while host state Ogun is not far behind, securing 38 gold among 96 total medals, thanks to strong showings in athletics, golf, and martial arts.

Hot on Their Heels
Rivers State continues to make a strong push, climbing to 101 medals (37 gold) while Edo State, despite lower gold numbers, stands out with 67 silver medals — the highest of the tournament so far — contributing to their overall tally of 154.

Battle for the Top 8
Other states showing grit and consistency include:
Lagos State
Oyo State
Osun State
Each has carved out a place in the top eight, thanks to depth across multiple disciplines.

States with Breakthrough Moments
Smaller contingents from Plateau, Cross River, Kwara, and the Invited Junior Athletes (IJA) have delivered standout performances in select events, proving that big moments don’t always come from big teams.

Meanwhile, Anambra, Imo, and Kano have steadily accumulated medals despite limited representation.

Slow Starters
A few states are still waiting to make their mark. Kebbi, Jigawa, and Taraba have yet to see significant results, with only minimal medal returns so far. However, with more competitions ahead, the standings remain far from settled.

Current Medal Count Summary
🥇 Gold: 318
🥈 Silver: 307
🥉 Bronze: 422
🏅 Total: 1,047 Medals Awarded

As the Gateway Games 2024 rolls on, the energy remains electric in Abeokuta and across host venues. Athletes continue to chase glory, with every match, jump, and throw potentially shifting the balance at the top.

Stay tuned. The race for the crown is far from over!

South South people wey fit swim anyhow nd I guess some of doz sport are like some people daily activities...

Delta is always top in sports. Sports is one area you can't fault our governors. While they may be slow in enacting policies that benefit us overall, they always make sure to invest in sports.

From time immemorial, Delta State has always been the winner.

WHY?

We can never carry last.

I knew kebbi will be the last.
Sokoto is nowhere to be found. Same with katsina, Gombe, adamawa, Yobe and Zamfara. Hajj must have kept them busy.

Delta no dey carry last

Good

It's that Bayelsa own that is surprising me. After Delta (number 1), it used to be the likes of Lagos and Edo battling for number 2.

At least my state Oyo still dey top 10.

E never spoill for us finish

Kwara has 3 gold. Nice one

IMPARTIAL:

WHY?

Because Delta no dey carry last!

The useless illiterate governor of Edo state has destroyed anything sport in Edo state. Imagine Edo occupying the 5th place?

Beautiful

Delta nor dey carry last. Delta wadoooo!

Big heart for a reason... Now you know why Delta State have produced very notable Super Eagle Stars atleast, three Eagles Captains

Even me sef I shock!!! Edo is always second to Delta. I don't know what happened

I will prefer if the rewards could be changed
1- Gold medal to N3 million
2- silver medal to N2million
3- Bronze medal to N1million.

The table should be
State Amount earned
1. Delta N335m


I don't believe our reward system should be the same with other clime and so our youth can fully engage

Delta for life

We dey always represent for this thing

Edo don drop sha

Delta is always on top

These our northern states

Education- you won't see them
Sports - nowhere to be found

Na we get am for here. The Big Heart!

Don't be silly please, Lagos and Ẹdo will still be nearer the top.

Ogun is doing well due to home advantage, I bet Bayelsa is down to swimming.

Wait till the athletics events before knocking Edo.
