“As Founder and Chancellor, I am proud to see this vision come to life — an institution where young talents seamlessly balance academics with professional sports training, developing holistically as both scholars and athletes,” he said.

In a post he made on X, former Twitter, Senator Nwoko further emphasized that the university was established to nurture future champions and intellectuals who would not only excel in sports but also make remarkable contributions to society on the global stage.
