STARCARES, the community impact arm of broker STARTRADER, has finished redeveloping a basketball court at the University of Lagos College of Medicine. The project gives roughly 2,000 students a space to play, reset and connect outside their medical training.
The college, located in Idi-Araba, Surulere, employs 1,850 staff across 32 departments. It admitted its first 28 medical students in 1962 and has since grown into a competitive institution for doctors, dentists and allied health professionals.
“When an institution prepares people to safeguard a nation’s health, their environment should sustain them,” STARTRADER Chief Executive Officer Peter Karsten said in a statement. “This court reflects our belief that ambition grows stronger when people have space to breathe, belong and return to their goals renewed.”
The redevelopment included a new playing surface, hoops, benches, jerseys and equipment. Students stepped onto the court immediately after the opening ceremony.
STARTRADER is a global multi-asset broker regulated by authorities including CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA and FSC. The initiative ran under the theme “Where Tomorrow STARs Begin.”
