I started Discus for fun - Nigerian representative at World University Games
Ruqqayah is one of the 75 student-athletes who were selected from 22 universities and will compete in seven different sports disciplines.
“At the last NUGA Games, we totally developed our sports centre, and right now, we are working towards developing a sports hostel in that space which will be a 240-bed hostel for sportsmen and women. We have redone the indoor gym, the basketball courts, cricket fields, and everything is up to international standards.
"The swimming pool is now Olympic-size, so sports here is one of our most important focuses. What we also want to do now is develop the courses around sports like sports medicine, that is the next step for us. I am hoping that we will be able to interest some corporate organisations to have a sports academy because I think we have everything that it takes.”
