NRFF President commends ValueJet's contributions to Rugby development in Nigeria
Posted : 03 October 2023
The President of the Nigeria Rugby Football Federation (NRFF), Dr. Ademola Are, has commended the impact of ValueJet's on rugby development and sports generally in the country. Dr. Are, who was speaking on the sidelines of the just concluded National Youth Games in Asaba, where Delta State emerged as the winner in both the male and female events of rugby, said ValueJet's contributions to sports development cannot be overlooked.
“We can't overemphasise the impact of ValueJet in Nigeria rugby because they came at a time we needed them the most, and all thanks to the president of the company, Kunle Soname, who went the extra mile to ensure that the Nigeria senior men's national team, the Black Stallions, participated at the Africa Sevens Olympic qualifier in Harare, Zimbabwe."
Despite not being the most popular sport in the country, he saw the potential in rugby when others were hesitating, just like he has for other businesses of his with his canny business acumen.
“The federation is happy with the involvement of the company in rugby, and we hope to consolidate on the collaboration by ensuring that the federation continues to give them the mileage they deserve through our programs."
The Nigeria Rugby Football Federation has set plans in motion for all their activities for the next calendar year, which involve the kickoff of the Rugby League, regional programs, and participation in international rugby programmes in 2024.
