Highlighting BetKing’s commitment to community development and football infrastructure, Ukanwoke revealed an ambitious project, “In addition to renewing our partnership with Ikorodu City FC, we are excited to announce that BetKing is actively involved in the construction of a state-of-the-art sports facility in Ifako Ijaiye, in Lagos State. This project aims to further enhance the football landscape in Nigeria and provide a world-class facility for players and fans alike.” He added.
Also speaking on the partnership, Vice President, of Ikorodu City FC, Sanmi Doherty said: “I want to sincerely thank BetKing for partnering with us. What BetKing has done is laudable, and we hope other organizations take a cue from them. This partnership will not only contribute to sports talent development but also open doors for national exposure. As you invest and build confidence in us, we will be as transparent and honest as possible. The investment will boost our football club and contribute massively to the country’s football economy.
