On Sports
As the Sports University of Nigeria, Idumuje-Ugboko, nears completion and gears to kick off, the proprietor, Prince Ned Nwoko, has expressed confidence that the fruition of the project would provide a watershed in the sporting fortunes of some developing countries to beget competitive parity in global sports.
He, particularly, identified Nigeria as an epicentre for deploying the institution’s innovative approaches, embedded in the modus-operandi of the trail-blazing Sports University.
Nwoko’s mission statement for the Sports University anchors on providing education in sports services: science, medicine, management, engineering, physical education, humanities and social science, as well as to develop top-level athletes through high-performance training.
He said the University will also collaborate with relevant authorities globally for exchange programmes to produce Olympic gold medalists, at international sports championships and world record breakers in many areas of sports.
According to officials of the school, besides churning out quality athletes, astute sports managers and administrators, the Nigerian, African and global sports fellowship stands to harvest a plethora of benefits.
The Sports University will have standard global sporting facilities, three-floor academic building, a top-scale art library, medical centres, an Olympic-size swimming pool, and standard pitches for football, hockey, and baseball.
