However, the University of Ghana, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, as well as the University of Development Studies, Ghana, made a huge statement for their country by winning the gold, silver, and bronze medals in the men’s 4x100m relay event.

The line-up for the race had seven universities, including co-hosts UNILAG, Federal University Oye-Ekiti, and UNIJOS.

In another sheer display of Ghana’s dominance on the track, Kwame Nkrumah University’s Janet Mensah won double gold in the women’s 100m and 200m events.
