Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has announced the award of full scholarships to 90 outstanding students from the region to study at the Sports University of Nigeria, Idumuje-Ugboko.

The initiative, according to the Senator, will see ten beneficiaries from each of the nine Local Government Areas in Delta North receive 100% tuition-free education for four years, alongside access to world-class sports and academic facilities.

“This is more than financial assistance; it is an investment in a generation that will combine academic excellence with athletic brilliance,” Nwoko said. “By nurturing scholar-athletes, we are building ambassadors who will represent Delta North and Nigeria with pride, both in the classroom and on the field of play.”

The beneficiaries will enjoy:

Full tuition-free education for four years

Training in modern sports complexes with 24-hour power supply

Access to high-speed internet and safe on-campus accommodation

Exposure to cutting-edge academic and athletic programmes

The Sports University of Nigeria, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa, offers accredited programmes in Mass Communication, Management & Social Sciences, Sports Science, Allied Health Sciences, Sciences, and Architecture.

Admission into the scholarship programme requires both strong academic records and proven skill in at least one sport. The first batch of awardees will resume studies in the current academic session.

Senator Nwoko reaffirmed his commitment to youth development, stressing that education and sports are key tools for empowering the next generation.
