    (Department of Physical and Health Education, University of Maiduguri, Nigeria, 2018) Adlsa O.; Ayeni, A.A.; Oyedlran B. A.
    Objective: The Ebola virus disease, formerly called the Ebola haemorrhagic fever, was first identified in rural Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976, where it killed 280 people. The disease had mostly been confined to relatively small outbreaks in rural settings, until the 2014 outbreak, which hit urban areas in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Today, the African countries affected by the outbreak of Ebola in 2014 have been able to curtail it and have even come out strong out of its devastating effect. However, this disease has a tricky way of sneaking back, as it has demonstrated in the time past. So to what extent is our stadium equipped to screen, detect, prevent and contain Ebola spread during football competitions. This has been the major focus of this research Methods: Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. It was correlational type which explores the relationships that exists among variables on which predictions are made based on the relationships. A total of 75 (Seventy five) respondents were selected from among the Sport medical personnel, coaches, athletes, sport managers/administrators and sport journalist from each stadium to make a total of 150 (one hundred and fifty) respondents. A self-developed questionnaire which has reliability coefficient of 0.87 was used to collect data while the data were analysed using inferential statistics of chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results: The findings of the study reveal that the selected stadia lack surveillance and detection capabilities for Ebola and other infectious diseases. It was also discovered that many personnel working in and around the stadia, athletes and spectators lack adequate knowledge about Ebola. The health facilities in around the complex too did not have functional diagnostic and containment capabilities for Ebola. Conclusions: It was concluded among others that adequate laboratory service and active surveillance capacity for Ebola detection during football competition should always be made available by the authority concern.

    Underdevelopment of sport in Nigeria: A need for physical education curriculum diversification
    (2010) Adisa O.
    This paper focuses on the need for physical education curriculum diversification in order to achieve sustainable sport development in Nigeria. It compares level of sport development in Nigeria with other countries with the aim of bringing to limelight the reason why there is disparity. The paper also considered need for physical education curriculum diversification having compare physical education curriculum across many countries. It was concluded in the paper that education is a dynamic phenomenon that must recognize the changes in the environment and respond to the growing demands and challenges. Physical education is a large system and it is almost impossible to predict its behaviour over far too distant future since the system parameters show a high rate of change. In today's scenario, the sport business is changing so rapidly that other sport disciplines are fast appearing on the surface. Mobility of sport professionals across the national boundaries has changed the demand - supply perspective and this may eventually force the educational planners to take a global view. Physical education programs in Nigerian higher institutions are based in the school of education. This practice has dwarfed the scope of these programs and has made them unpopular. Because Nigerian teachers are so poorly paid, most young people do not choose teaching as a profession. Physical education programs, particularly teachers of physical education and recreation, sport coaches, administrators, technologists, journalists, trainers and consultants must receive proper training. An urgent need exists to develop programs outside the colleges of education that meet the needs of physical education students who do not want to become teachers
