Governor Francis Nwifuru has urged players of Abakaliki Football Club to remain focused, committed, and determined for success.
Mr Nwifuru gave the advice when players and the club’s management paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday at his country home in Oferekpe, Izzi LGA.
The governor urged sports officials and administrators to uphold professionalism and ethical behaviour on and off the field.
He promised continued support for the club, adding that he would be more involved in its affairs.
Mr Nwifuru admonished the team to re-strategise for the new football season to improve performance.
“I am pleased with your activities, and I know you will do well, so remain focused, continue winning to make the club, state, and country proud.
“I am committed to the club’s future even if others won’t lead,” Mr Nwifuru said.
