GCU Relays: Oborevwori, Akpomudje, Oru Set for Ughelli Showpiece

The eighth edition of the GCU Relays is set to receive a major boost with Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, Olomu Kingdom monarch, HRM Albert Akpomudje, SAN, and business mogul,

The eighth edition of the GCU Relays, an annual athletics competition, is set to take place at Government College Ughelli in Delta State, featuring prominent personalities such as Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Olomu Kingdom monarch HRM Albert Akpomudje, and business mogul Chief Andrew Oru. The event aims to nurture young talents and provides an opportunity for government officials, traditional rulers, corporate leaders, and sports administrators to come together.

One of the major discussions at this year's competition is the proposed transformation of the existing six-lane tartan track into a nine-lane facility, which could significantly improve the school's athletics infrastructure. The presence of high-profile attendees is expected to advance the reconstruction proposal. Chief Oru's attendance brings a nostalgic touch, as he competed at the same venue decades ago and has been a strong supporter of the GCUOBA community.

The GCU Relays continues to benefit from the support of the Gamaliel and Susan Onosode Foundation and contributions from the Mariners community.
