Badagry West LCDA came alive on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, as the Executive Chairman, Hon. Rauf Ibrahim Kayode Yemaren (RIKAY), staged a colorful Independence Day Novelty Match to celebrate Nigeria’s 65th anniversary.
The action-packed encounter between Seme All Stars and Owode All Stars thrilled fans at the Badagry West Sports Ground, with Seme All Stars clinching a hard-fought 2–1 victory. The game, filled with passion, teamwork and community spirit, kept the crowd on their feet from kickoff to the final whistle.
Speaking after the match, Hon. RIKAY stressed that the event was not just about football but about strengthening unity, friendship and solidarity among the people of Badagry West. He tied the spirit of the celebration to national progress, noting that it reflected the collective support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda as the nation looks forward to Asiwaju 2027.
The celebration drew political leaders, traditional rulers, youth groups, sports enthusiasts and community stakeholders, who praised the Chairman for blending sports, governance and patriotism into a single symbolic event.
Miss John Oluwakemi Mausi, Head of Department for Agriculture, described the initiative as “a laudable effort that unites the people and inspires the younger generation towards nation-building.”
Earlier in the day, pupils from both primary and secondary schools lit up the arena with a colorful match past, after which Hon. RIKAY presented gift items to all participating schools, further demonstrating his commitment to youth and education.
