Meanwhile, according to its programme manager, Ahmed Abdul Rahman Nkoba, the SRC is targeting for more supporters and participants this year to take part in the event to represent their countries.
“We encourage all students to actively participate. In the previous Spordemic challenge 2017, the performance was epic. The hall was in full capacity filled with students during the closing ceremony, ” he said.
Promoting the balance between academic, sports and inclusivity, IIUM students have been urged to experience life together and to gain a good insight from this programme. ***
