  SPECIAL REPORT: By Mike Cerutti, Richlist international magazine publisher   One of the most ambitious experiments in Nigerian higher education is beginning to produce results, and it is coming from Idumuje-Ugboko in Delta State. The Sports University of Nigeria (SUN), founded by Senator Ned Nwoko, was built on a simple but radical idea — that a young Nigerian should never have to choose between a university degree and a professional sporting career. That vision is now taking shape in the story of one student, and it is drawing national attention. Senator Ned Nwoko, founder of the Sports University of Nigeria, has spoken clearly about what inspired him to establish the institution. “One of the dreams that inspired me to establish the Sports University of Nigeria (SUN), Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta State, was to build an institution where young Nigerians would not have to choose between pursuing academic excellence and becoming accomplished professional athletes,” he said. “I am del...

The way the news reached her made it even harder. She was told unprofessionally via WhatsApp, and the shock made her faint and slip into depression, requiring emergency resuscitation. After three days, she recovered and treatment commenced, but that painful start shows how much care, love and support she needs now. Doctors have placed her on 3 to 6 cycles, and in the worst case, up to 18 months of chemotherapy, radiotherap...
