Man O’ War Nigeria Pursues Partnerships for Youth Sports

Man O’ War Nigeria has announced its readiness to collaborate with sports stakeholders and development organizations to discover and nurture grassroots sports talents across Nigeria. National Commander Ademola Gbenga stated that the organization’s nationwide structures could effectively support talent discovery and youth engagement in sports.

During a strategic partnership visit by Abdulgafar Oladimeji, Editor of Sahel Sports Newspaper, to the organization’s national headquarters in Abuja, Gbenga, represented by MC A. R. Ikumapayi, expressed the organization's openness to collaborations that align with its vision of “Build the Youth, Build the Nation.” He highlighted that Man O’ War, a youth-focused voluntary organization present in all 36 states and the FCT, aims to develop grassroots sports programs and create opportunities for young people.

Ikumapayi noted that sports instill discipline, teamwork, resilience, and patriotism, which are core values of Man O’ War. The organization seeks practical initiatives rather than mere declarations of intent in its partnerships.
