Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the success of Lobi Stars Football Club.

During a surprise visit to the team’s training camp at McCarthy Stadium in Makurdi on Thursday, Governor Alia assured the players of his unwavering support and pledged to help the club achieve greater success.

“This administration means well,” Governor Alia told the team. “When the season started, the road was rough, but now you have people who can take you to the promised land.”

The governor also promised to expedite the club’s return to their home ground, expressing confidence in a brighter future for Lobi Stars.

“This is just the first phase of Lobi Stars,” he said. “I assure you that going forward, you will have a new narrative. You will rise to greater heights.”

Lobi Stars Technical Adviser, Daniel Amokachi, thanked the governor for his visit and pledged the team’s cooperation in achieving the administration’s vision.

Captain Solomon Kwambe, on behalf of the players, promised to deliver strong performances that would make the state proud.

Governor Alia’s visit has boosted the team’s morale as they prepare for their second stanza opener against Heartland FC in Owerri this weekend.
