Ogun State Governor Hails Remo Stars for Historic Nigeria Professional Football League Title Win
Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun on Tuesday praised the dedication and resolve of Remo Stars Football Club following their historic victory in the Nigeria Professional Football League, which marked their first title win on Sunday.
Governor Abiodun hailed the accomplishment as a remarkable milestone for the state.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, the governor noted that the team exemplified the potential that Ogun State is known for, emphasizing that their perseverance and determination have ultimately been rewarded.
He acknowledged that Remo Stars has consistently aimed for excellence with a strong sense of patriotism since its inception. The team’s skill and capability not only secured them the 2024-2025 Nigerian Premier Football League title but also facilitated their promotion to the elite league four years ago.
The governor called on other local clubs in Nigeria to draw inspiration from Remo Stars’ resilience and commitment, which could elevate the status of Nigeria’s domestic league.
“It brings me great joy to see that the longstanding dedication and consistency of the Remo Stars Football team have finally yielded success at the national level, admired by all Nigerians, including our respected President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As the first privately-owned NPFL champions since 1996 and as qualifiers for the CAF Champions League, we extend our commendations to the unwavering determination of the players, coaching staff, and the entire management team.
“This victory is a testament to Ogun State’s legacy of excellence across various fields and reflects our comprehensive transformation policy encapsulated in our ISEYA mantra,” the statement concluded.
