For every meaningful change, God uses a man to perform.
It’s true that Kogi State football sector, has suffered a lot before now from diverse shortcomings leading to low productivity when it comes to performance.
A lot of football fans cried, some openly asked for a desired change to bring liberation to the development of the round leather game in Kogi State.
The Almighty God says call unto me and I will answer you. His Excellency Captain Idris Wada appointed Mallam Abdul Adama as the Chairman of Kogi State teams in 2013.
Adama, a young administrator has before now been the initiator of the present ABS FC team.
He started the team as a keep fit exercise for staffs of the Kwara State Government House. This later attracted talented footballers in the State.
The team later metamorphosed into a football team named Bukola Babes FC.
Honourable Adama with the Grace of God was able to pilot the team to win the Kwara State FA Cup in 2006 and 2007.
His team got a slot in the Nigeria Nationwide League 2 in 2007 and got promoted to the NNWL 1 in 2008.
The boys gained promotion to the Nigeria National League in the 2008/2009 season.
Bukola Babes again amazed the football fraternity as they made it to the Premier League in Nigeria at the end of the 2009/2010 campaign.
The wealth of experience of Hon Adama was put to test when he was appointed to pilot the affairs of football in Kogi State.
Since his appointment, it is true, visible and tangible that the blind could see, the deaf have heard the impact he had made despite the short time in office.
Players’ welfare is first in his priority, as they are the tool to productivity.
Delays in salaries, match bonuses, eye-saw resident camp, and some other factors have been a thing of the past.
It might interest you to know that Kogi United and Confluence Queens are well decorated in terms of kitting with branded products from Owu Sports Company and the internationally recognised Hummel.
The two clubs are in the top halves of their respective leagues.
Both sides enjoy the support of the State Government and Sport fans in the State are impressed with the good display of soccer artistry by the two teams.
Indeed, Hon Adama was sent by God to lift the standard of football in Kogi State.
