Amidst discussions ranging from football to politics, the duo shared a convivial atmosphere, reminiscing about past experiences.

Over a sumptuous lunch prepared by Odegbami’s chef, attention turned to the cover of the award brochure, which garnered praise from the former Green Eagles Skipper for its design.

However, Odegbami expressed genuine interest in understanding how Ilaboya was navigating the economic challenges of financing such a significant project.

Ilaboya, in turn, provided a detailed briefing, receiving attentive approval from Odegbami, known for his commitment to excellence.

As a mentor who once provided Ilaboya with a breakthrough opportunity in television, Odegbami’s support and guidance hold special significance.

Reflecting on their shared history, Ilaboya acknowledged Odegbami’s pivotal role in shaping his career, particularly through employment at Worldwide Sports Ltd in 1996.

Grateful for the privilege of chairing the upcoming occasion, Ilaboya expressed profound appreciation for Odegbami’s continued mentorship and the rare opportunity to collaborate on this esteemed project.

The stage is set for a memorable awards ceremony, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Frank Ilaboya, Dr. Segun Odegbami, and the dedicated team behind the scenes.
