Vincent Enyeama’s visit to Akwa United is a great boost for the team and a testament to the strides that the club has made in recent years.
It’s impressive to see the level of professionalism in the club’s management and the dedication to player welfare. It’s also inspiring to see the team’s leadership taking the time to acknowledge their roots and celebrate their legends.
He said: “I must say that I am really impressed with the structure I have seen on the ground. It wasn’t like this during my time and I can see that a whole lot has changed. I didn’t expect anything less with a man like Elder Paul Bassey as the Chairman. Elder Bassey has that midas touch. Even when I was still playing for the national team, he is one of those very senior journalists in this country that commands a lot of respect from players and officials.
“Elder Bassey knows what it means when we talk about players welfare and from what I’m seeing here, I can say that this camp is comfortable and conducive for players and this should be the standard for any NPFL club.
“My coming to Akwa United office today was to meet with the Chairman, have the opportunity of seeing the place I started from, get closer to the team and offer a few words of encouragement and support as well as have that feeling with the club once again”.
Enyeama’s words of encouragement and advice to up and coming footballers are much needed in the sport, and it’s always great to see former players giving back to the game. Overall, this visit is a great example of how sports can bring people together and showcase the best of humanity.
