Abstract
This study "Objectives of Sports Programmes expressed
as needs by Ahmadu Pello University Zaria stud " was
meant to pin-point the sports needs of the greater majority
of the students of Ahmadu Dello University Zaria.
Next in importance, this study was meant to illustrate
the fact that programmes of sports are better determined.
by the people that need them. Such programmes when
determined would be better utilized by the determinants.
To investigate these needs problems, six hundred
subjects from sixty seven departments of eleven faculties
of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria made up of males and females,
participants and non-participants, married and single
students of all the classes including others (diploma and
certificate) were chosen on a stratified sample basis for
the study.

compilled and distributed to the sample group by hand.
Five hundred and eighty four questionnaires out of six
hundred questionnaires that were distributed were returned.

three percent.
The data so collected, were treated to means and
standard deviations to determined highest and lowest rated
objectives; 't' test and ANOVA, to test for significance
(vii)
effects of the opinions of the students on the dependent
variables finally factor analysis with PA2 iteration
procedure was performed on the dependent variables in
order to discover the significant factors inherent in the
expressed opinions of the students thereby pin-point their
needs.
From the analysis of the data, it was found that the
objectives "keeping in good health and physical condition
and "To attain and maintain high level physical fitness"
were the highest preferred objectives by most of the
Departments, classes, by the marital status, most of the
parrticipants, and most of the faculties. The factor
analysis identified two significant factors of "social
development and physical development". These results
strongly indicated that the students needed of fitness
and recreational sports programmes than any other programme.
However, competitive sports programme - already in existence
- was confirmed.

study because she occupies a central position (North, S outh,
West and East) of the entire nation of she attracts
students from all the state of the nation hence forms a
melting pot for all the varied cultures of the people of
Nigeria. The opinions of the students will therefore
affect most of the other Universities and Sports Councils
in Nigeria.
