The University of Lagos was an exciting beehive of activities for 10 days when students from across Nigeria dropped their notebooks and pens for their football boots and running shoes to take part in the 26th edition of the Nigeria University Games, NUGA.

Amidst the over 10,000 athletes from 70 universities that were on parade, some individuals distinguished themselves with breathtaking performances in the respective sporting events they took part in.

To make it to the podium and win a medal takes a lot of hard work, let alone winning multiple medals, with many athletes winning the consolation medal of just participation. Thus, praising and congratulating multiple-medal winning athletes should be the norm.

PREMIUM TIMES beams the searchlight on athletes who won four or more gold medals at the 2022 NUGA Games and hopes they fulfill their undoubted talents in the future.

1. Ifeakachukwu Godsgift Nmor (University of Port Harcourt) - 13gold and 2silver.
2. Akiayefa Timipame-Ere (NILE university) - 9gold and 2silver.
