The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has unveiled the new jerseys for the state’s owned Kwara United Football Club as part of the government’s efforts to promote the current leaders of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).
At the event held at the Kwara State Stadium Complex, Ilorin, AbdulRazaq called on stakeholders in sports industry to redouble their efforts in promoting and showcasing Kwara United Football Club as a good brand for corporate entities to invest in.
In his words “We are doing everything within available resources to reclaim the glory of our state across all sectors. We are investing a lot of money to bring back critical sports infrastructure. We are building squash courts that will be the best and largest in the country. We have intervened in Kwara Football Academy’s Hostel, Volleyball Court and Baseball Court while also fixing the Olympic standard Swimming Pool, among others”.
The governor commended the pole position of the Kwara United Football Club on the Nigerian Professional Football League table, attributing it to prudent management of resources by the team managers who recruited great players for the NPFL campaign.
Governor AbdulRazaq appealed to all Kwarans to allow the jerseys to connect them with the Club, urging the people not to abandon the promotion of the jerseys for foreign clubs’ jerseys.
Chairman of Kwara United Football Club, Kumbi Titiloye, thanked the governor for the jersey; saying that:
“We decided to launch the replica jerseys for the support of government and sports loving people of Kwara State to increase our revenue base and to officially open our merchandise new store”.
