다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This work set out to examine the place of sport and spirituality in selected Nigerian universities and how that can impact humanity Method: The methodology adopted in this work is historical, comparative and analytical approaches. Result: We observed sport as an anticipated channel of climbing social ladders among several students which serves as a source of hope for many of them, especially those from a rather humble background. We also discovered that, sport holds the answer to the much needed unity and friendliness among students on campuses. Conclusion: It has served to promote quality of life after school ,as well as the development of society through economic empowerment of graduates, who would have otherwise become unemployed youths and source of crimes in the society. This prima place of sport in our existence makes it very necessary to accord adequate priority to the study of sport and spirituality in our Curriculum, as it promotes humanity and develops our society.
