National Institute of Sports rot, Comrade Philip Shaibu
…vows to bring it back to Life
Joel Ajayi
The National Institute of Sports (NIS), located in Surulere, Lagos, has been left in a deplorable state, despite its critical role in training and retraining Nigeria’s coaches and sports medical personnel.
Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu, the newly appointed Director-General of the institute, embarked on an inspection tour of the facility on Monday and was confronted with scenes of neglect and decay.
From the dormitories to the offices and toilet facilities, the entire institute bore the signs of long-term abandonment.
The water and electricity systems, as well as general maintenance, are in urgent need of rehabilitation.
Deeply moved by the level of deterioration, Shaibu vowed to bring the institution back to life. He emphasized that restoring the institute will be a top priority under his leadership.
Recognizing the scale of the challenge, the DG has declared a state of emergency for the renovation and revitalization of the National Institute of Sports, signaling his readiness to take swift and decisive action to return it to its former glory.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
