The Chief Executive Officer of The Nigerian National League Emmanuel Danjuma Attah has described the demise of the former Secretary of the FCT Football Association, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi as a great lost to the football fraternity in FCT and Nigeria in general.

Attah who was the FCT FA Chairman between 2005 to 2011, a period when the late Abdullahi served as a Secretary, said “it is a very sad loss. As FCT FA Secretary, he worked with passion and dedication. He was a loyal secretary, who took the interest of FCT Clubs as his topmost priority.
Attah said with” Ibro” as he was fondly called as the Scribe of the FA, FCT FA became the cynosure of all the Football Associations in the country, and they supported FC Abuja ( now EFCC FC ) to get promotion to the NPFL in 2007/2008 Football season.

He prayed that God should grant him rest in his bossom, and the family the fortitude to bear the lost.

Late Ibrahim Abdullahi served the Federal Capital Territory Administration until retirement in 2016.

Nigerian forward Charles Adah Agada scored twice as HNK Orijent secured a 2-0 away victory over Karlovac 1919 in the Croatian SuperSport Prva NL on Saturday.

Orijent produced an impressive performance at the Branko Čavlović-Čavlek Stadium in Karlovac to claim all three points in the league encounter.

Agada, a former Mavlon FC of Lagos attacker, was the standout performer, finding the net twice to help the visitors overcome their hosts and strengthen their position in the league campaign.
Orijent went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage before extending their lead in the second half.

The Nigerian striker completed his brace with the goal that made it 2-0 in the 57th minute.
Karlovac were unable to find a response as Orijent held on to their advantage to secure victory away from home.

The result represents an important boost for Orijent, who will look to build on the performance in their subsequent league fixtures.

For Agada, the brace underlines his value to the team as Orijent continue their campaign in Croatia’s second-tier football competition.

He has built an important role on loan at the club and has successfully established himself as a regular fixture in their lineup, appearing in all 8 league matches so far this season.
