The managers and coaches from the Professional Class of 2024 at the National Institute for Sports NIS in Lagos have shown their appreciation to their alma mater by donating an LCD screen to the institute. This thoughtful contribution is intended to enhance NIS’s visibility and foster pride within the institute’s community. Azeez Abass Michael, Chair of the Project Committee, explained that their time at NIS was transformative, leading to this gesture as a way to give back.
During their studies, the alumni noticed that the institute’s signage was outdated and lacked visibility, particularly at night. This prompted them to contribute positively by improving the visual identity of NIS. Michael emphasized that the donation symbolizes the group’s gratitude and commitment to helping NIS maintain its status as a leading institution for training coaches and managers.
The new LCD screen is expected to boost the institute’s visibility, elevate school spirit, and inspire both current and prospective students. The alumni hope their contribution will leave a lasting legacy and further promote the institute within the sporting community.
