Officials of the Nigerian University Games Association, last week  visited University of Lagos, where they met with the Vice Chancellor of the university and other members of the local organising committee of the 26th Nigerian University Games.
The visitation was designed to get a suitable date for the games and also to inspect the progress made on the campus’ sports facilities.
 Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Oluwatoyin T. Ogundipe reiterated the institution’s commitment to hosting the rest of the country’s university athletes.
 Over 5,000 students from 85 universities were earlier scheduled to feature in the games in 2019, and the games has been pending while the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic halted many sporting events in 2020.
The facilities inspected were those for athletics, the indoor hall, the swimming pool, the main football pitch being re-grassed and other facilities around the sports centre.
The NUGA contingent led by its President, Prof. Stephen Hamafyelto and the Secretary General advised that the university should not rest on its oars in ensuring that the games is delivered shortly and that any dates proposed by the  university will be taken for consideration.
Meanwhile, the University of Lagos will host this year’s International Day of University Sports (IDUS) scheduled for the 20th of September and the activities will be announced in due course.
