The 19th edition of the Nigerian Medical Students Association (NiMSA) Games kicks off today at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), with over 20 medical schools across the country competing in a week-long hunt for medals.

The highly anticipated tournament follows closely on the heels of the 11th Federation of African University Sports (FASU) Games, which concluded just last week.

In a statement released by UNILAG’s head of the Communication Unit, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, the tournament provides an opportunity for student-athletes to showcase their sporting talents in various disciplines.

“The University views this event as a platform to highlight its world-class facilities, vibrant student body, and dynamic sporting culture to the Nigerian academic community.

“As a first-time host, UNILAG aims to use the games to reinforce its status as a leader in sports among Nigerian universities,” Alaga-Ibraheem noted.

She stressed that the institution hopes to prove that excellence extends beyond academics by offering top-tier facilities and a supportive environment for athletes.

“The university is committed to demonstrating top-level hospitality and efficient event management throughout the tournament,” she added.

The teams are gearing up to excel in football, basketball, track and field, and more.
