“This timely support is a huge morale boost. We’re now more determined than ever to make Osun proud,” Oriowo said.

The meeting was attended by high-ranking figures, including the Senior Special Assistant on Football Matters, Hon. Kehinde Johnson, as well as officials from the Osun State Ministry of Sports and the State Sports Council.
