GCU Relays Countdown Begin, as Akpomudje, Majoroh Drum Support

The sixth edition of the annual Government College Ughelli (GCU), Relays is some 30 days to its first starter’s gun blast. And the countdown has effectively begun.

Spontaneously, both the Immediate Past President General and President General Worldwide GCUOBA, Arc. Charles Majoroh and Chief Albert Akpomudje (SAN), have called for increased support for the GCU Relays. 

With seven years into the GCU Relays, the built and donated Tartan Tracks, courtesy of NNPC/SHELL are in urgent need of rehabilitation.

‘’We should be able to fix some of the peeled-off sections with a proper patch for the immediate period,” Majoroh hinted yesterday. Still, PGWW Akpomudje is pushing for more sustainable and longer-lasting work on the Tracks.

‘’We still must reach out to Corporate Nigeria, especially NNPC/SHELL for a much more comprehensive job on the Tracks,” ‘Akpomudje said.

Familiar powerhouses, Hussey and Urhobo College are up against emerging opposing forces of Federal Government College Warri and Novena University Staff College, Kwale as well as hosts Government College, Ughelli, who at the last edition dazzled in the modern kits donated by Ancient Mariner, Sir Joseph Arumemi- Ikhide.

The stakes are higher than before with improved rewards setting the tone for intense battles between the perennial contenders and ambitious debutants.

As the quest for Intercollegiate Athletics glory unfolds, only time will separate the pretenders from the Champions as new talents are uncovered, just as rivalry and supremacy have started and excitement is at a fewer pitch, as the legacy schools converge for honors, with the sumptuous bait for the Race for Glory.

Key to the GCU Relays ‘’is to progressively build and cement healthy interaction between secondary schools and students from different states of the Federation’’.

The GCU Relays is an initiative of the Government College Ughelli Old Boys Association Worldwide. November 9th is locked down for the sixth edition.
