2025/26 NPFL: Bendel Insurance Unveils New Chairman, Jaret Tenebe

Posted : 27 June 2025

The newly appointed chairman of Bendel Insurance Football Club, Emperor Jaret Tenebe, was officially unveiled on Friday, June 27, as the Edo State Sports Commission, led by Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, set plans in motion ahead of the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The unveiling ceremony took place at the Media Center of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, with major football stakeholders in attendance, including the chairman and members of the Edo State House of Assembly Committee on Sports, Edo FA, coaches and referees’ councils, and other dignitaries.

Tenebe had earlier received a warm welcome on Thursday evening at the Benin Airport, where he was received by a jubilant crowd of supporters, including top officials of Bendel Insurance and the club’s supporters group, led by Chief Osadolor Ogiefa.

The Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission, Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, and other board members were also present to welcome the new chairman.

Speaking at the airport, Emperor Jaret Tenebe expressed gratitude for the reception and declared his ambition to lead the club to continental success.

"I’m very happy with the warm reception and honored by this appointment. Insurance FC is a club I’ve always supported, the pride of every genuine Edo person. I’m ready to contribute to the progress of our beloved club. With the support of the Sports Commission and our fans, I believe we can play continental football every season," he said.

Tenebe’s appointment was formally confirmed on Wednesday by the Edo State Sports Commission, as part of efforts to strengthen the club's management ahead of the new NPFL campaign.

He succeeds former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, who was recently appointed Director General of the National Institute for Sports (NIS) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
