Simple random sampling technique was used to select sampled universities and the athletes. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the directors of sports. A researcher designed questionnaire was used to obtain the relevant information’s about the opinion of the respondents. A research assistant was employed, motivated and trained from each sampled university. The data collected were organized and presented in tables. Information gathered on the variables were analyzed in terms of means and standard deviation which were further subjected to t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The finding of the study revealed that the motivational required for better sports performance of athletes and officials is not adequately encouraging. Therefore, based on the results of the study it was recommended among others that Federal Government and the various Universities should provide adequate incentives in order to boost the morale of athletes and sports officials in tertiary institutions in northern states of Nigeria.
