By • June 30, 2025 • Schools Gist

Senator Ned Nwoko has Awarded Full Scholarships to Delta North Students at Sports University

Senator (Prince) Ned Munir Nwoko has awarded full four-year scholarships to students drawn from the nine local government areas of Delta North to pursue degree programmes at the Sports University of Nigeria, located in Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta State.

Announcing the scholarship programme during a briefing at the university campus, Senator Nwoko said the initiative was aimed at supporting academically inclined young people with sporting abilities in line with the institution’s unique philosophy of combining formal education with physical development.

“It is called the Sports University but it offers far more than sports. We run accredited programmes across a range of faculties. However, for a child to be admitted here, they must be able to participate in at least one sport. It is a holistic approach to education,” the senator explained.

The Sports University of Nigeria, founded by Senator Nwoko, is the first private sports university in sub-Saharan Africa. According to him, the institution was established to address the educational and physical development needs of Nigeria’s youth, especially those who demonstrate exceptional promise in both academics and athletics.

WIDE RANGE OF ACADEMIC OFFERINGS

The university offers courses across several faculties including Mass Communication, Management and Social Sciences, Sports Science, Allied Health Sciences, Sciences and Architecture.

In the FACULTY OF MASS COMMUNICATION, programmes such as Journalism, Broadcasting, Advertising, Film and Multimedia Studies and Public Relations are available under direct entry.

The FACULTY OF MANAGEMENT AND SOCIAL SCIENCES offers degree programmes in Accounting, Business Administration, Political Science, Criminology and Security Studies, Public Administration, Psychology and more.

Other faculties include SPORTS SCIENCE offering Sports Administration and Physical and Health Sciences, ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES including Nursing, Physiotherapy, Public Health and Medical Laboratory Science, and SCIENCES with courses in Cyber Security, Computer Science, Biochemistry and Microbiology.

The FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE offers a full degree in Architecture.

ADMISSION CRITERIA AND CAMPUS INFRASTRUCTURE

To qualify, candidates must present a minimum of five credit passes in SSCE including English and Mathematics, meet the JAMB UTME national cut-off or gain admission via Direct Entry channels such as IJMB, JUPEB, NCE or OND.

A verifiable sporting talent is a mandatory requirement for all applicants, reflecting the institution’s philosophy of raising well-rounded graduates capable of excelling in both academic and athletic pursuits.

The university features modern academic and residential facilities, 24-hour electricity, high-speed WiFi, CCTV-monitored premises and state-of-the-art sports infrastructure. On-campus accommodation is compulsory for all students, ensuring a secure and immersive learning environment.

A LIFELINE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

The scholarship scheme is expected to benefit hundreds of students in its first phase, offering them an opportunity to study tuition-free in an environment tailored to academic and personal development. Senator Nwoko described the initiative as a long-term investment in the future of Delta North and Nigeria at large.

“We are raising a generation of scholars who are also sports ambassadors. This is how we prepare young Nigerians for global relevance in the classroom and on the field,” he said.

The first cohort of scholarship beneficiaries is scheduled to resume in the upcoming academic session.
