The Nigeria University Games Association (NUGA) has temporarily suspended the national university Games which began on Saturday in Makurdi, over what it called “technical hitches”. NUGA Secretary-General, B. O. Orodele, who announced the suspension on Sunday in Makurdi, said that the action became necessary because “both athletes and contingent officials have not been accredited as required by the guidelines of the Games”. According to him:
The temporary suspension will enable both the officials of NUGA and the host university to sort out the technical hitches.
