For decades, Baba has contributed immensely to the growth and nurturing of football talent in Nigeria, shaping the careers of countless young athletes. His passion for the game has always been evident, and his efforts have helped solidify Lagos as a breeding ground for football excellence. Beyond the pitch, Baba has been an administrator, mentor, and a historian, always eager to share his vast knowledge with anyone willing to listen.

Even at 74, Baba remains actively involved in football administration. A visit to the Lagos State Footballers Association office is not complete without seeing him there, tirelessly working to promote and improve the sport he loves so dearly. His dedication is a testament to his unwavering commitment to football and to the community he has served for so long.

As we celebrate Baba’s 74th birthday, it’s essential to recognize not just the years he has lived but the legacy he has built. His contributions have not only impacted the present but will continue to influence future generations of footballers and sports enthusiasts in Nigeria.

“Football is not just a game; it’s a way of life, a unifying force that brings communities together. I’ve dedicated my life to it because I believe in its power to transform lives,” Baba once said, a quote that encapsulates his enduring dedication.

To honor this incredible man, we invite everyone to celebrate Baba with a donation—not because he is asking, but because we recognize the value of his contributions and want to give back on his special day.
