“Their courage in pursuing success despite three previous near-misses in the race for the league title is admirable.

The President also commended the vision and commitment of the club’s owner and chairman, Mr. Kunle Soname.
He noted that Soname’s investment, particularly the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium in Ikenne, had provided a vital foundation for the growth of sports in Nigeria.
