I had the pleasure of hosting two former Bendel Insurance Football Club players, Benjamin Tanimu and Osarenkhoe Imade, at my residence. These talented individuals began their professional football journey with the club, and it’s remarkable to see how far they’ve come.
During their visit, they presented me the authentic jerseys from their respective clubs — a thoughtful gesture that means a lot to me. It’s heartwarming to see these young men, who were identified and nurtured by Bendel Insurance from a tender age, grow into accomplished professionals.
As they shared their experiences and aspirations with me, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and joy. I encouraged them to remain focused, stay humble, and continue striving for excellence in their careers. Their dedication and perseverance are a testament to the power of hard work and determination.
Benjamin and Osarenkhoe, I’m fulfilled to have met you both, and I wish you continued success in your careers. May your stories inspire others to chase their dreams, just as Bendel Insurance FC has done for countless young talents. Keep shining, and remember that the sky is only the starting point!

Ex-Deputy Governor of Edo State
