lenges stated that education is very crucial

The Nigerian Universities Staff Sport

the Vice Chancellor, Prof Bashir Ade-
mola Raji with an Award of Excellence
for Service. The award, given to Prof
Raji at the 11th NUSSA Games held at
University of Benin from 6th to 11th
August, 2014, was to recognise his
efforts towards the resuscitation of
the Association’s games after 18 years
of being moribund.
Prof. Raji was said to have ensured
that Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
had the 9th edition of the games
staged on her campus after 17 years
of accepting to host in 1991. He made
this dream become reality in 2008
when ABU hosted the 9th edition of the
NUSSA Games and since then the
Games have bounced back to life.
It would be recalled that the Vice Chan-
cellor had sometime last year been
decorated by the National Association
of Nigerian Students (NANS) with an-
other award of excellence and as well

struct a perimeter fence for the campus.
