On an e-flyer circulated by UISU’TV, the official whatsapp TV of the students’ union, NAPS Press Sports Desk gathered that an handball competition tagged ‘Titans’ is set to hold on the 28th of April, 2023.
The tournament is set to feature handball teams from UI, OAU, LAUTECH, LASU, EKSU, OOU, UNILORIN and UNILAG.
Averting from the sports secretary of the Students’ union, Olawale Joshua Bababtunde (OJB), the competition is being organized by the UI handball team in conjunction with the students’ union, UI.
He stated that the goal of the competition is to encourage handball in faculties in UI: “We have noticed that we have not been able to see handball teams from different faculties, so we could not hold something within, so we think of getting the competition outside and showcasing the growth of handball team. And once people see this game going on, they tend to find interest in and participate in it”.
He also asserted that the competition is a first of its kind. It is to bring about a handball model of the Higher Institution Football League (HIFL), and to enhance participation from all higher institutions across the country.
It is meant to promote handball beyond NUGA, OJB said.
