WAUG kicks off in OAU Ile-Ife

Posted : 20 December 2023

Athletes from 20 universities in Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal are participating in the ongoing West African Universities Games (WAUG) championship held at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun.


The events being contested at the games include table tennis, athletics, tennis, and basketball.


On Tuesday, the Director of Sports at OAU, Alhaja Omobola Tijani, revealed that the ongoing games are part of the WAUG Championship and are specifically focused on TATB (Table Tennis, Athletics, Tennis, and Basketball).


“The WAUG we are hosting is the championship, and it is called TATB (Table Tennis, Athletics, Tennis, and Basketball). The WAUG proper consists of the 16 Nigerian Universities Games Association (NUGA) sports. The WAUG championship will close on Dec. 22, with just 20 universities from Ghana, Senegal, and Nigeria participating in the games.


“At the end of the games, our students will have international recognition, make new friends, and the games will provide OAU the opportunity to upgrade its facilities,” she said.


Tijani highlighted that OAU is one of the universities in Nigeria with sports facilities within the university and mentioned that the institution's management has upgraded its sports facilities to meet international standards for the games.


Regarding security arrangements for the games, Tijani assured that the university's security unit, with the assistance of the police and other law enforcement agencies, is on the ground to provide security. CCTV cameras have also been installed for surveillance on the university campus, especially at the venues of the games.


“We have adequate security in place to ensure the safety of our students and guests,” she said.
