It’s the second time Nigeria will be hosting the competition in 20 years after the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauch, played host to the rest of Africa in 2004.
The motto of the 2024 Games is ‘compete, unite, and excel’ and was officially declared open by the president of the Federation of Africa University Sports, Ashraf Sobhy.
The Vice-Chancellor, UNILAG, Prof. Folasade Ogunsola, and her LASU counterpart, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, charged the athletes with the spirit of sportsmanship and also promised to make the edition a reference point in the history of the games.
“This collaboration between our schools to host the games is symbolic. It is symbolic of the Africa that we want,” UNILAG VC, Ogunsola, said.
“We mark great collaboration, team spirit, the spirit of Africa, and we also mark the youth of Africa who will take us forward.
