Nigeria Flags Off Participation in Maiden African School Games in Algeria, Backs Youth and Olympic Dreams As the curtain rises on the Maiden African School Games in Algeria, the National Sports Commission (NSC) has affirmed Nigeria’s commitment to youth development, national pride, and the Olympic dream by facilitating the country’s participation in this historic continental event. Scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 5, 2025, across various Algerian cities, the African School Games is a first-of-its-kind initiative organized by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) in collaboration with the International School Sport Federation (ISF) and supported by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Nigeria will be represented by a robust delegation comprising 60 student-athletes, who will compete in 10 sporting disciplines, alongside officials, coaches, and medical personnel. These young athletes are expected to proudly hoist the national flag while showcasing the depth of Nigeria’s sporting talent and potential on a global grooming platform. “This isn’t just about winning medals; it’s about shaping futures, building unity across the continent, and instilling values that last a lifetime,” said Hon. Bukola Olopade, Director General of the National Sports Commission. “Nigeria’s participation is a strategic investment in our youth—who represent the foundation of our nation’s greatness in sport and beyond.” The Games emphasize the core Olympic values of friendship, solidarity, and fair play. With 25 sports disciplines on the schedule, the event provides a unique opportunity to identify, nurture, and develop emerging athletic talent across Africa. It also aligns with Nigeria’s broader strategy to deepen its sports talent pool in preparation for future global events such as the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. “We are not just participating—we are preparing,” Olopade added. “This experience will provide our athletes with the exposure, resilience, and international perspective necessary to succeed on the world stage.” Beyond athletic competition, the African School Games aim to promote pan-African unity and leverage sport as a catalyst for social development. Nigerian athletes will compete alongside their peers from across the continent, fostering mutual respect, cultural exchange, and long-lasting friendships. To further inspire the young participants, Olympic legends Noureddine Morceli and Hassiba Boulmerka have been appointed as ambassadors for the Games. Their mentorship is expected to serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for Africa’s next generation of champions. ANOCA President Mustapha Berraf emphasized the importance of the event, stating: > “We are witnessing an exceptional moment. ANOCA is living one of its most cherished dreams—offering African youths a platform for development through sport, in the spirit of Olympism.” The National Sports Commission remains unwavering in its vision of using sport as a vehicle for nation-building and youth empowerment. Nigeria’s participation in the African School Games is a testament to that commitment and marks the beginning of a new chapter in the country’s sporting history.

Telecommunications giant, Globacom, has announced a strategic partnership with Nigeria’s leading technology solutions provider, Cubecover, to launch a pioneering device protection service for its subscribers.

The innovative service—an industry first in Nigeria—offers both new and existing Glo customers affordable protection against screen and water damage to their mobile devices. With premiums as low as ₦50 per day, subscribers can access up to ₦50,000 worth of screen repairs or replacement when damage occurs.

Speaking on the initiative, Globacom’s Head of Value Added Services (VAS), Mr. Mojeed Aluko, stated that customers can choose from daily (₦50), weekly (₦300), or monthly (₦600) subscription plans. However, he noted that full protection is only activated after maintaining an active subscription for at least one month.

“As a responsive and innovative network, we are leveraging this partnership to offer meaningful device protection to our subscribers, ensuring they stay connected even after accidental damage,” Aluko said.

To enroll, customers can simply dial 70131# on their mobile devices and select their preferred subscription plan. The subscription fee is deducted directly from their Glo airtime, either as a one-time payment or through auto-renewal. Upon successful payment, customers will receive a link to run a diagnostic check on their screen. Once the screen passes the test, the device’s IMEI is registered with Cubecover for coverage.

Globacom emphasized the simplicity and speed of the service, highlighting its mobile-based enrolment, affordable micro-premiums, and tech-driven verification process, which eliminates delays and paperwork.

The company further encouraged new users to visit any Gloworld outlet nationwide to purchase a Glo SIM and device, after which they can immediately subscribe to the device protection service.
