Chairman of Nasarawa United Football Club, Lafia, Solomon Babanjah, has congratulated the Club’s Director of Media, Eche Amos, on his well-deserved special recognition and dollar cash reward by the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi Sule.
The Solid Miners’ Supremo, shortly after the NPFL Annual General Meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, told the Club’s Media that the decision of the Governor to single out the Club’s Board Member and Director of Media for recognition and reward during the special reception hosted for the victorious Nasarawa Amazons who won this year’s Women’s President Federation’s Cup title, at the Government House, in Lafia, was both timely and and symbolic, noting that “behind every great victory is a voice that enures the world hears it. Through strategic communication, brand elevation, and relentless promotion of our club’s values, our Club’s Board Member and Director of Media, Mr. Eche Amos, has been instrumental in amplifying the achievements of our Club, including that of our women’s team, Nasarawa Amazons, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, both within the State and internationally.”
Solomon added that the Media Director’s recent recognition by the Number One Citizen of Nasarawa State was one among many, disclosing that the Governor had done so in numerous occasions, since assuming office in 2019, including car and other incentive gifts.
“We are not surprised, whatsoever, by the recognition and financial reward our Media Director got from the Governor. The Governor has repeatedly stated that he has high regards for hard work, dedication and commitment, and rewards excellence, and Mr. Eche possesses all the above qualities, which is why he is one of the best in Nigeria.
“This recognition is not merely an individual accolade. It is a validation of the work we do collectively at Nasarawa United FC, a club that believes in rewarding excellence, nurturing talent, and projecting Nasarawa State’s image and its people with dignity and pride.
“If Eche Amos projects you, the world will definitely know about you, because he has a global network. He is a thorough-bred professional journalist.
“And the dollar-cash reward further buttresses Governor Sule’s commitment to incentivising professionalism and global standards in sports administration.
“So, on behalf of the Board, Officials, Players, and teeming Supporters of our Club, and in my capacity as the brand new Coordinator of the NPFL Club Owners’ Association, I reaffirm our solidarity to Governor Abdullahi Sule and the State Government, and our unflinching resolve to continue building institutions that make our dear State proud.
“We pray and hope that this recent recognition and reward will spur us all to greater heights this new football league campaign”, Solomon concluded.
