NPFL: We Will Fight To Finish, Lobi Stars Coach
Lobi Stars Coach Eugene Agagbe has said that “Yes Father Boys” will not relent in their spirited efforts to end the season on a note that will earn the team a continental ticket.
Speaking at a post-match chat at the Lafia Township Stadium after a sweet home victory against Niger Tornadoes, Coach Agagbe commended his wards for playing to the instructions saying that the team will not relax the oars until the end of the league.
“We have to work harder to get to where we want to be. The boys showed character in their continued push in the match against Tornadoes today”.
“As we get close to the end of the first stanza of the season, the team needs to be in a comfortable position on the log for confidence when the second stanza resumes”.
“We will be in Ilorin for our next match and, I hope we will have a good game against Kwara United there. They lost in their today’s match and will hope to do better at home. But my boy’s stability gives me confidence wherever we go to play.”
however, the Shoe Get Size Boy still maintains their second position on the log with 29 points from 16 matches played.

Joel Ajayi
Team Nigeria’s boxing contingent has officially departs the shores of the country for Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ahead of the 6th edition of the Islamic Solidarity Games, taking place from November 7 to 21, 2025.
The team forms a vital part of Nigeria’s contingent at the multi-sport event, which gathers athletes from across over 55 nations globally. Nigeria’s participation reflects the nation’s commitment to expanding its global sporting profile and using sport as a tool for unity, national pride, and youth development.
Chief de Mission, Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, described the Riyadh Games as a “crucial aspect of Nigeria’s strategic sports development plan,” emphasizing that the event serves as both a test of preparation and a pathway toward greater international success, including at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
He reaffirmed the NSC’s commitment to ensuring that Nigerian athletes receive the necessary support to excel on global platforms.
“This is more than just another international competition; it is a vital stepping-stone for our athletes toward Olympian ambitions,” Hon. Bukola Olopade said ahead of the team’s departure.
“Our team is prepared, focused, and hungry for success. We carry the hopes of the nation with us to Riyadh,” Hon. Olopade added.
Nigeria has maintained a strong presence at the Games since the inaugural edition in 2005. Over the years, the country’s athletes have recorded success across various sporting categories.
The contingent is led by experienced coaches and supported by technical staff dedicated to achieving peak performance levels.
As the competition gets set to begin in Riyadh, all eyes will be on the Nigerian contingent to deliver a performance that reinforces the country’s reputation as one of Africa’s leading sporting nations.
