The high-profile ceremony, led by club president Johnson Dagana, brought to get her key stakeholders, sports enthusiasts, and dignitaries, signaling a strategic push to deepen the club’s reach across communities.

Representing the leadership, National Deputy President Musiliu Jimoh Alao presented a customized crested jersey to Sego—officially marking his entry into one of Nigeria’s most recognized supporter groups.

But this was more than just a ceremonial moment.

“This is a deliberate step to strengthen our grassroots presence,” Alao declared.

“Sego is a respected leader with strong community influence, and we believe he will help mobilise greater support for Nigerian sports.”

Sego, a powerful figure within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos, did not hide his excitement as he accepted the role.

“I am truly honoured. This is a call to serve and contribute to the growth of sports in our nation,” he said.

He went further, promising to use his influence to promote unity and positive fan culture.

“Sports unite people. I am committed to supporting the club’s vision and encouraging discipline, participation, and national pride,” Sego added.

The appointment is already being viewed as a major strategic alliance—linking one of Nigeria’s most influential grassroots networks with a national sports supporters’ body.

With Sego now on board, expectations are high that the partnership will ignite fan mobilisation, strengthen community engagement, and drive sports development across Lagos and beyond.

One thing is clear—this is not just an appointment, it’s a power play aimed at transforming how Nigerians connect with sports.
