The University believes in extracurricular activities, we believe in building up the total man; academically, morally, physically and all the while. Sports is one of the ways of building physically and also one of the ways of having exercise, it is also one of the ways of having fun. We have been attending other Universities’ intervarsity programs, and this is the first time the University will organize its own intervarsity sports competition and I feel that we are up to age to do that. And we mobilize other universities, we have trained our own people as well so they can have recreation.

The university, including the founders has placed so many premiums on sport. At the Chrisland primary, secondary and University, sport plays a key role. At the last council meeting, it was decided that we should have standard sport center in the Owode Campus, where we have large portion of land, we plan to establish a sport center there and it is not too far from Abeokuta.

We will be taking the students there occasionally for them to practice. Also, within the space where we are we are looking for a way to maximize the resources available.

We are working on reconstructing the lawn tennis and basketball court on the temporary site, we also plan to set up the badminton court, table tennis and chess in the female hostel” she added.

On their part, some of the student that spoke with CEOAFRICA applauded the VC, Prof Babalola and the school management for organising such a great sport event like this.
