NIS admits 200 students

After a year’s hiatus, the National Institute for Sports on Thursday matriculated 200 students into various departments.

The admission is coming after a year during which the admission process was suspended by the Director General/Chief Executive Officer of the institute, Comrade Philip Shaibu.

According to the DG, the current students are coming after the reorganisation of the procedure in student admission in accordance with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s plan to reposition the NIS as a foremost sports institute.

“We have completed the administrative phase of repositioning the NIS, and that’s why we’ve opened the admission for the next intakes.

“This is the first set, and I think they are lucky because we’ve reorganised everything about the institute from the lecturers to the curriculum as part of the plan to turn it into a global institution,” the former Edo State Deputy Governor said.

Comrade Shaibu, however, advised the new intakes to not only be law-abiding but also be disciplined to be able to churn out good and disciplined coaches and administrators.
