Up Your Game, City FC’s Sports Director Charges Team
Joel Ajayi
An Abuja-based football club, City FC’s Director of Sports, Moses Adams, has called on the team technical crew, and players of the club to up their game in the ongoing NNL campaign for them to top the table.
He gave this charge shortly after City FC defeated Yobe Desert Stars 1-0 inside the old parade ground in Abuja.
Mr. Adams was not pleased with his team’s performance after a dominant first-half display where his players missed several scoring chances.
According to him, it was not a good game because El Kanemi Warriors FC is topping the table with 25 points in our group, and with this win, we have 24 points, just a points difference with them.
“We could have used this opportunity to get more goals, like three to four goals, in this match. But we ended with just a goal.
“We have the qualities and I don’t know what was wrong with the players. Definitely, we are not happy with the team’s performance. That’s just the truth,” he said.
He called on the team to sit tight, “We have the quality, we are going to sit with the coach a lot needs to be changed, zero is not acceptable.”
However, the City FC’s win means they still maintain their second position on the table with 24 points, while Yobe Desert Stars stayed sixth with 17 points.

Joel Ajayi
As part of preparations for the 2025 African Women’s Club Championship, the Nigeria Customs Service women’s volleyball team has embarked on a training tour in Benin Republic.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from April 1 to 14 in Abuja, Nigeria.
The team departed for Benin Republic on Wednesday.
The Sports Secretary of the Nigeria Customs Service, Samuel Onikeku, appreciated the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi MFR, and his management team for approving the training tour.
He emphasised that the tour would allow the players and coaching crew to assess their level of preparedness for the upcoming championship.
Onikeku expressed confidence in the team’s potential to make a strong impression at the tournament, citing the support received from the Federal Government of Nigeria, particularly through the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON.
He said, “The volleyball team has traveled to Benin Republic for a 10-day training tour. The players have been in camp since February, and this tour will provide them with an opportunity to compete against teams outside the country.
“I want to appreciate the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi MFR, and his management team for approving this training tour.
“During the training tour, Nigeria Customs Service will take on strong opponents from Benin Republic, Ghana and Togo.
“The support we received from Nigeria’s First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON, has been tremendous, and the team is committed to making the country proud.”
He said the service is determined to better their position after finishing fourth place in 2021.
