PHOTO NEWS – Current State of the University of Port Harcourt Olympic‑Size Swimming Pool
Once celebrated as one of Nigeria’s finest training facilities for Olympians, the University of Port Harcourt Olympic‑size swimming pool now tells a different story.
In its prime, this world‑class aquatic centre hosted top‑level competitions and served as a breeding ground for some of the country’s best swimmers. It was a place of pride, not only for the university but for Nigeria’s sports community at large.
Today, the once‑sparkling waters have faded, and the facility stands in a state of neglect — a stark reminder of the challenges facing sports infrastructure maintenance in the country. The decline of such a valuable resource is more than just a local issue; it’s a call for renewed investment in the future of Nigerian athletics.
This transformation from a hub of Olympic dreams to an abandoned shell highlights the urgent need for restoration and proper management so that the next generation of athletes can have the facilities they deserve.
