The acquisition extends the GWG’s search for all encompassing education – providing training; entertainment; sporting and cultural activities.
Announcing the acquisition via a press statement, yesterday, Secretary, HISL/HIFL Supreme Management Committee, Babatunde Adejuwon, said GWG will at any moment from now come up with aggregate sports programmes for all Higher Education Institutions — in a way that suits developmental needs of combining sports with education.
Adejuwon, who is a renowned volleyball promoter, added that combining sport with academic study improves athlete performance on the field as well as off it and gives the athlete a head start in post-sport career.
He said GWG through its new acquired brand (HISL/HIFL) is determined to provide opportunities for students that are naturally endowed to pursue their academic goals alongside sport career.
“Successfully balancing your sporting career with studying can help make you a winner – both on and off the field of play. This is what HISL/HIFL is out to achieve – providing an avenue for students that are naturally endowed to pursue their academic goals alongside a sport career.”
“There is an evolving international trend that student-athletes who are able to balance their training with education seem to be very successful at an Olympic level.”
