The University of Uyo (UNIUYO) is preparing to introduce a new sports policy designed to make the university's athletic programs sustainable and profitable, according to its Vice Chancellor.
The new framework aims to ensure that sports activities are not only financially viable but also maintain a healthy balance with the institution's academic priorities.
The Vice Chancellor stated that the policy is intended to address the long-standing challenge of funding sports within the university, shifting the approach towards one that generates revenue and supports long-term growth.
By monetizing sports, the university seeks to create a self-sustaining ecosystem where athletic achievements contribute to the broader financial health of the institution.
The initiative reflects a broader trend in Nigerian higher education institutions to diversify income streams and enhance the professional management of student activities.
