Kwara Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS), has emerged the champion of the maiden edition of the Independence Cup with a 3-0 victory over the Kwara Bankers Forum.

The competition which is organised by Phreestyle Sports was put together to foster unity among professional bodies in the state.

Uthman Uthman scored a goal in each half and Soliu Muritala added the third to give the Revenue Collectors the edge over the Kwara Bankers Forum in a game dominated by KWIRS in the final on Tuesday.

In the third place match played earlier at the Kwara Stadium complex, the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) defeated their Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) counterparts 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw during regulation time.

Speaking after the game, the Chairman of the Kwara Football Association, Malam Idris Musa, commended the organizers for putting such a good group together.

"We will see how we can borrow from what Phreestyle Sports has done.

"It was nice to see professional bodies coming together to take out of their tight schedule to keep fit" Musa said.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Phreestyle Sport, Shogo Shodunke, told newsmen that the event was organized to promote independence among Nigerians.

"We want to promote among Nigerians the need to be independent despite the daunting challenges facing the nation.

"Despite all these circumstances, we can still live peacefully with each other, we must be able to do things on our own rather than depending on government at the time" Shodunke said.
