ABS Ilorin FC Dedicates Victory To Late Joseph Igiri

Ibrahim Lateef

Abubakar Bukola Saraki Ilorin Football Club has paid a heartfelt tribute to our late former Welfare Officer, Joseph Igiri, by dedicating our hard-fought 2-1 victory over Godswill Akpabio FC to his memory, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Igiri served our club with unwavering dedication for over a decade, and his contributions to our team's success were immense.

His passing on December 20, 2024, following a brave battle with illness, has left a significant void in our team.

As a mark of respect, a one-minute silence was observed before the game in his honour, serving as a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on our club.

The Director of Football, Chief Alloy Chuwuemeka, remembered Igiri as a "passionate and dedicated servant" who gave his all to our club.

"He will be greatly missed," Chuwuemeka added, reflecting on the profound influence Igiri had on our team.

The victory over Godswill Akpabio FC, secured by Moshood Olaniyan's late penalty kick, was a fitting tribute to Igiri's memory.

Our team's determination and resilience on the pitch exemplified the values he instilled in them during his time with the club.

As we continue to mourn the loss of our beloved Welfare Officer, we find comfort in knowing that his legacy lives on through our team's achievements.

This victory, dedicated to Igiri's memory, serves as a poignant reminder of his lasting impact on our club.
