All is now set for the participation of the sport team of Covenant University at the 2013 Nigeria Private Universities Games (NPUGA) billed to hold at Joseph Ayo Babalola University from Saturday 14, to Saturday 21, December 2013.
Team Covenant is currently intensifying preparation towards the event under the watchful eyes of the Head Coach, John Obogo. Four other coaches and eight ancillary team officials are supporting him in ensuring a successful outing for the team.
Covenant University would be participating in nine sporting events, among which are Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Chess, Scrabble, Badminton and Athletics. All which would be featuring the male and female team of the University, except football.
The Vice-Chancellor of Covenant University, Professor Charles Korede Ayo, in his goodwill message to NPUGA Council and participating teams said, “The reality of these Games is a further confirmation that Private Tertiary Institutions are not only out to rescue our educational system from decadence, but also creating an avenue for redeeming the battered image of Nigeria in sports through the instrumentality of organized games of this magnitude.”
He concluded by enjoining members of the sporting team of Covenant University to be good ambassadors of the University, upholding the spirit of sportsmanship, compete fairly with a good conscience in the fear of God.
Coach Obogo speaking ahead of one of their training session noted that the training schedule of the University’s representative has increased in intensity, with team spirit being on the high side, ahead of the University debut at the fifth edition of the competition, since formation of NPUGA council.
Furthermore, he affirmed the team’s readiness to do the University proud and make the games the sports council contribution to the Covenant University drive towards the Vision of being One of Ten in Ten in 2022.
According to him, “We would not just be known around the world for our academic excellence, but would also be celebrated for churning out quality and world class sportsmen and women,” he concluded.
Covenant University recognizes the importance of a sound and healthy body, thus the premium placed on the study of Total Man Concept Sports related topics since her inception in 2002.
