The maiden edition of the Super Eagles Supporters Club (SESC) Awards Night will hold on the 24th of May, 2019, at the Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Ikeja.

In a release signed by the National President of the club, Vincent Okumagba, he said that the award ceremony is an avenue to recognise and appreciate those who have over the years contributed to the successes of the nation’s senior team, the Super Eagles, as well as their Supporters Club.

“People only see the Super Eagles’ play without knowing the many efforts involved in getting them succeed. It’s not an easy task getting a team like the Super Eagles perform so we need to appreciate those who make things work” he added.
Okumagba also highlighted the efforts and sacrifices of the members of the Super Eagles Supporters Club, who spend their time, finances and energy to follow and support the Eagles.
“As we prepare to follow the team to Egypt for the African Nations Cup in June, we want to give ourselves and others who support us a pat on the back for the efforts and sacrifices” he said.

Other activities lined up as part of the Award Night is the official presentation of the Supporters’ Club new magazine, ‘The Super Supporters Magazine.

“We also want to raise funds for our many activities; the immediate being the forthcoming AFCON in Egypt in June. Others include the inauguration of the Club’s Board of Patrons and Board of Trustees which has Otunba Oladejo of Liberty Lottos as Chairman.”

Among the awardees are Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi and Kessington Adebutu. Others are the Sports Minister, Barr. Solomon Dalong and Nigeria Football Federation President and CAF Vice President, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick. Both will also serve as the Distinguished Guest of Honour and Special Guest of Honour respectively.
