Abia Warriors have assured their newly unveiled shirt sponsor, Eunisell Limited, to be good ambassadors of the company wherever they are.
The Eastern Updates reports that the club was recently hosted by chemical solutions giant, Eunisell at an event at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.
While speaking with the club’s media, Eunisell Group Managing Director Chika Ikenga disclosed the essence of the occasion.
“Since we started this sponsorship this year we’ve not had the opportunity to meet with everybody so, tonight presents a big opportunity to do that. And to tell the boys well done and to keep encouraging them,” Ikenga noted.

He further highlighted the importance of football as a buffer towards solving some socio-economic problems.
“There’s a big opportunity for football in Nigeria particularly to create employment for our young people and to see how Nigeria can earn more from football. Football builds a nation’s brand, and reputation and image. Football brings people together. People enjoy football. People love football. And like I said, it enhances the image of a nation.”
He went further to encourage other corporate bodies to sponsor football clubs in Nigeria.
“If you’re sponsoring it’s a two way thing. The sponsor benefits, then the person or the club benefits. It helps to build a corporate image so, you can’t lose by sponsoring.”
On his part, Abia Warriors Sporting Director, Emeka Ifejiagwa, thanked Eunisell’s Group Managing Director for his hospitality and assured him of the club’s commitment in being good ambassadors of the brand.
The high point of the event was the presentation of a signed replica jersey of the club to the company’s Group Managing Director of Eunisell.
