Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Onoriode Joshua Oborevwori, will next week lead top dignitaries, including the Ughelli North Local Council Chairman, Jaro Egbo, to the seventh yearly Government College Ughelli (GCU) Relays billed to hold on November 22, 2025, at the school’s tartan tracks.

Among the array of eminent Nigerians expected at the grand finale will be the Chief host and newly crowned King of the Ancient Olomu Kingdom, Albert Akpomudje.

Interestingly, the seventh edition of the GCU Relays will be the first public engagement for the GCUOBA’s President General Worldwide (PGWW) since the coronation.

Other top dignitaries expected at the GCU Relay include the Delta State Commissioner for Basic Education, as well as the SUBEB Chairman.

Instructively, massive support for the GCU Relays has always been given by the authorities in Asaba, especially with the timely release of the Timetronics photo finish equipment that has ensured proper and accurate timings for the event.

Also, Old Boys, both Ancient and Young Mariners, operating through their companies, have sustained the GCU Relays over the years. Notable among them are the Gamaliel and Susan Onosode Foundation, GAMSU, Bograte, Benkline and Capitol Hill Hospital.

The yearly GCU Relays is aimed primarily at reviving the old inter-school athletics rivalry among budding talents across the country and projecting them to greater glory.
