Prince Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun State on Tuesday, commended the commitment and determination of Remo Stars Football Club, which culminated in the team winning its first-ever Nigeria Professional Football League title on Sunday.
The governor described the achievement as an unprecedented feat in the annals of the state.
Abiodun, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade on Tuesday, said the team has sustained the inherent capacity Ogun State is known for, adding that their resilience and perseverance have paid off.
The governor added that Remo Stars has consistently pushed for the best with an enviable patriotic tendency since its formation.
He said the level of the team’s dexterity and capacity earned it the 2024-2025 Nigerian Premier Football League title as well as its promotion to the elite league four years ago.
The governor, therefore, implored other local clubs in Nigeria to emulate the degree of resilience and doggedness the team displayed to help promote Nigeria’s local league to enviable heights.
“It is my utmost delight that the age-long perseverance and consistency of the Remo Stars Football team have eventually paid off at the national level and to the admiration of every Nigerian, including our amiable President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As the first privately-owned NPFL champions since 1996, who ceremoniously secured a place in the CAF Champions League, we commend the undiluted and unwavering determination of the players, the coaching staff, as well as the entire management.
“This is indeed the clear reflection of the profound trait of Ogun State as the first in all areas of success and our all-inclusive policy of transformation as enshrined in our ISEYA mantra,” the statement read.
