” The award is also in celebration of our very rich football and sports heritage, as well as, reviving the traditional AJ creed of excellence, education, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, community, service, peaceful coexistence, and unity through sports – with the aim of stimulating and attracting vital investments from within and outside into the Agegunle sporting economy.

” Drawing from football and sports as a foremost global industry and unifier, this annual football awards shall progressively capture all eras and facets of Ajegunle sports, including the athletes, coaches, sports media, administrators, club proprietors, mentors, public and private sector investors. And with the awardees selected strictly on merit by a board of distinguished independent selectors.

” I tell you, this is the people’s award, by the people, for the people – a statement of excellence,” the youthful and highly resourceful sportspreneur,” added conclusively.
