In a strategic move blending sports and enterprise, Jenik Logistics has signed on as official sponsor of the ABS Ilorin FC Player Awards for the 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) season — marking another win for the growing synergy between Nigerian football and the business community.
Under the sponsorship deal, Jenik Logistics will fund the Player of the Match awards for all ABS Ilorin FC home fixtures, as well as the Player of the Month recognition throughout the season.
The partnership reinforces the club’s commitment to rewarding performance while building bridges with Nigerian companies that value innovation, dedication, and community impact.
Jenik Logistics, one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising logistics brands with operational bases in Kwara, Lagos, and Abuja, specializes in both inter-state and international delivery services. The company’s strong record in reliability and efficiency mirrors the ethos of competitive football — precision, speed, and teamwork.
Speaking on the new partnership, Mrs. Funmi Owolabi, Administrative Secretary of ABS Ilorin FC, described the collaboration as a morale booster for players and a signal of corporate confidence in local sports development.
> “We are thrilled to have Jenik Logistics on board for this season. Their involvement is not just financial support; it’s a belief in our vision and the power of football to inspire excellence,” she said.
Similarly, Jenik Logistics CEO, Mr. Nonso Okoh, highlighted the company’s drive to support youth engagement and community development through sports.
> “At Jenik Logistics, excellence and teamwork define our business. Partnering with ABS Ilorin FC allows us to extend those values beyond logistics — into nurturing young talent and strengthening our connection with the community,” he noted.
ABS Ilorin FC will begin their 2025/2026 NNL campaign in Conference C with a home clash against Sokoto United FC at the Rashidi Yekini Main Bowl, Ilorin, on Saturday.
The deal represents a growing trend of Nigerian SMEs tapping into the sports business ecosystem — using football sponsorships not just as brand exposure tools, but as platforms for community engagement and brand differentiation in a competitive market.
