Kwara United escaped relegation last season as a result of the massive and unalloyed support of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led administration, after it's unimpressive run in the 2022/23 abridge League, has however started training and recruitment of new players in preparation for the new season.


Ajakaye explained that the giant strides of the present administration towards sports development across the state is unprecedented, and will not relent in consolidating on the feat


According to him, the construction of the twin squash court at the state stadium is first of it's kind in Africa and new table tennis arena, when completed will further attract national and international championships.


He implored football lovers and fans to continue supporting the team in it's bid to have a good outings in the fast approaching new NPFL season in the Country.
