Although it was initially awarded as Benin 2020 when Edo beat Delta, Cross-River and Kaduna to win host right.
The change became necessary because the new name will give the entire Edo State indigene a sense of belonging.
The renaming took place at the Edo Heritage Hotel in Benin City between Stake holders of the event.
The games have also been scheduled to run between March 20th-April 3rd 2020.
