The Shooting Stars have promised to reward their players with a double bonus should they secure a victory over Nasarawa United in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 1.
The Oluyole Warriors will begin another league title quest in the season opener against Nasarawa United, a team returning to the elite league, at the Lafia City Stadium.
However, the Chairman of the club, Babatunde Olaniyan Akoro, while addressing the players in Ijebu-Ode, urged them to start the league on a strong note.
Akoro reassured the players that the management has prioritized their welfare for the new season.
“I am here representing His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, and the good people of the state, and I want to assure you that they are all behind you,” Akoro told the players.
“One thing that is unique to us is that we prioritize players’ welfare. You can ask those who have been with us before, and they will testify to this.
“Having watched you play two friendly matches here and having seen you in training, I can see the maturity in you, but I still want to see more cohesion in the team.”
The Oluyole Warriors will face the Solid Miners in their opening fixture of the 2024-25 season on Sunday.
