The event, hosted by the University of
Lagos (UNILAG) kicked off on Saturday, March 19 and will run until Sunday,
March 27, 2022.
Konga has partnered with hosts UNILAG to
deliver a memorable edition. In addition to the e-commerce giant’s support
going a long way in helping the institution treat participants to a sublime
event, Konga’s status as one of the corporate partners of the 2022 NUGA Games
has seen it light up the venues of the sporting fiesta with its unmistakable
brand colours. The stadium perimeter, sidewalk and other indoor sporting venues
are wearing a new look, courtesy of the presence of Konga.
Equally important, excitement is sky-high
among student-athletes, officials, guests, stakeholders and other visitors to
the University of Lagos, venue of the sporting extravaganza, with Konga making
available a wide range of products from its impressive bouquet at mouthwatering
discounts. Shoppers at the venues also enjoy the option of same day delivery to
their homes, offices, or preferred delivery location for items not physically
available at the Konga stand.
The foregoing has served to elevate the
standards of the all-universities games which the management of UNILAG has
vowed will go down in history as the best ever.
Furthermore, Konga’s involvement has seen
the NUGA Games improve the mood of university students across the country,
especially against the backdrop of the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU).
In his speech at the opening ceremony,
Vice-Chancellor of UNILAG, Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe commended the management of
Konga and other corporate partners for identifying with the institution in its
efforts at hosting a befitting event.
He disclosed that NUGA Games has been a
useful avenue to produce sports stars for the national teams in various sports
who would bring glory to the country and themselves in no distant future, even
he revealed the wish of the management of UNILAG for the event to go down in
the annals of NUGA Games as a game-changer in the country.
