Foremost financial institution, Sterling Bank has renewed its kit sponsorship deal with Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin for the new Nigerian Premier Football League season.
This kit sponsorship renewal was formalized at the 2022/23 jersey unveiling ceremony held recently at the Edo State Government house in Benin, Edo State.
Mr Tunde Adeola, Executive Director at Sterling Bank, made the pledge stating that “Sterling is very grateful and honoured to be a part of the return to footballing glory of Bendel Insurance”. He continued by saying that “We at Sterling will continue to support and sponsor Bendel Insurance because we did so last year, are doing so this season and look forward to continuing this partnership.”
The Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, who doubles as the chairman of Bendel Insurance and Edo Queen football clubs, thanked Sterling Bank for its support.
Comrade Shaibu said after the governor directed the board to reduce government’s spending on Bendel Insurance, the board approached several private establishments for sponsorship.
The Deputy Governor stated that “Sterling Bank believed in us, they believed in our dream and our vision, and they came in last year to break the jinx of having a corporate entity sponsoring a team in Nigeria National League (NNL) and the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).”
