IMC Progresses Steadily Despite External Challenges, Says Okumagba

“We are diligently working towards establishing a united and cohesive supporters group that every Nigerian can be proud of .
“Our efforts have garnered commendations from officials overseeing sports development in the country, highlighting the significance and progress of our mission.

“Our doors remain open for engagement from all sports fans across the country because a true supporter club is about the strength of its numbers . While everyone can be in leadership simultaneously, we urge all members to support and align with this great initiative to forster unity in support of Nigerian sports .

“We will not be distracted by naysayers. The recent stakeholders meeting was a huge success, with over 85% of expected participants actively taking part, he explained
