Akpomudje Set for Competitive 7th Edition of GCU Relays

Olorogun Albert Akpomudje SAN, the President General Worldwide, Government College Ughelli Old Boys Association and

 the Deputy Chairman of the Body of Benchers in Nigeria will preside over the seventh edition of the annual GCU Relays.

An event that could pass as his final Relays as PGWW, given the succession tradition and rituals of the GCUOBA Worldwide.

“It’s been a most interesting period in delivering past editions of the annual GCU Relays, and to think that this 7th edition could be the last that I would preside over before the end of my tenure and the subsequent transition to my would-be successor, it behoves me to deliver the best GCU Relays ever”, he said.

For the umpteenth time, Apomudje has given further assurances of a uniquely different and competitive 7th edition of the annual GCU Relays.

Akpomudje disclosed that organisational structures have been put in place to deliver the most colourful and competitive edition of the Athletic Meet.

The event, hosted under the auspices of the Old Boys Association, has been confirmed for November 22, 2025, at the School Tartan Tracks, which were built by NNPC/Shell Petroleum Development Company but are now in need of refurbishment.

“Having confirmed the date for this year’s 7th edition, we have commenced early preparations by reaching out to our potential sponsors – Companies and Old Boys, with a view to raising the required funds needed for a glamorous event, which the 7th edition represents”, remarked PGWW, Chief Albert Akpomudje.

Interestingly, over 60 schools Pan Nigeria and 500 athletes will be participating in this year’s edition, scheduled for November 22nd at the School grounds.
