The Chief Executive Officer of Stefolga FlowFM, Engr Femi Sanni Araba, provided a timely morale boost to Kwara United FC as they intensified their battle against relegation in the Nigeria Professional Football League.
Engr Sanni was physically present at the iconic Mobolaji Johnson Arena, lending his voice and support during Kwara United’s crucial Matchday 34 clash against Barau FC. His presence proved symbolic and inspirational, as the Harmony Boys edged a hard-fought 2–1 victory to boost their survival hopes.
The prominent entrepreneur and social impact advocate applauded Kwara United for their spirited victory over FC Barau, describing the performance as a “strong statement of intent,” and rewarding the team with a cash gift of N1 million.
Kwara United started brightly, scoring two first half goals through Toyeeb Gidado and Saheed Olaniyi to put the hosts in a commanding position.
The visitors got a goal back in the second half, but Kwara United held on, to ensure they get all three points at stake.
Engr. Sanni’s presence was not merely ceremonial. Known for his passion for grassroots and professional football development, his support served as a psychological lift for the players.
His continuous backing of football initiatives, including partnerships and sponsorships, reflects a growing synergy between private stakeholders and club football in Nigeria.
Speaking after the game, Engr Sanni praised the players’ determination and the technical crew’s game management, noting that the financial reward was a token of appreciation for their hard work and victory.
“This is the kind of football that inspires confidence in our local league,” Araba said.
“Kwara United showed character, composure, and a real hunger to win. Matches like this remind us that with the right support and structure, Nigerian clubs can reach even greater heights.”
He added that consistent performances like today’s victory would not only boost the club’s morale but also strengthen its connection with fans across Kwara State and beyond.
“The passion from the supporters and the commitment on the pitch are clearly aligned. If this momentum is sustained, Kwara United can become a dominant force,” he noted.
His presence at Mobolaji Johnson Arena underscored his growing interest in sports development as part of broader social impact initiatives. His interventions in youth empowerment and community development have increasingly intersected with sports as a tool for engagement and opportunity.
The victory further lifted Kwara United out of immediate danger, and injects renewed belief into the squad as the season approaches its climax. With just a few matches left, every point remains crucial in their fight to retain their NPFL status.
As the final whistle blew at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, it was clear that beyond the three points, Kwara United gained something even more valuable, confidence, belief, and the assurance that they are not alone in their fight for survival.
