As the 2020/2021 Nigeria National League season set to begin, the Cross River State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Tanko Ashang, has drummed support for Rovers Football Club Calabar.
This comes as the management and technical crew of Rovers Football Club Calabar, led by the Chairman, Mr Ejen Ebam, paid a courtesy visit to the Attorney General in his office at the New Secretariat Complex, Calabar, on Wednesday, January 27th 2021.
The Chairman who thanked the Commissioner for finding time out of his tight schedule to receive the club officials, informed him of governor Ben Ayade’s unflinching support in ensuring that Rovers Football Club Calabar redeem its lost glory.
Ebam however, appealed to the state’s number one law officer to assist the club on legal matters whenever the need arises, noting that the Nigeria National League was not without its peculiar legal challenges.
He intimated the Commissioner of the club’s mandate to finish top in the 2020/2021 season and gain promotion to the country’s top flight which is the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Ebam commended Barr. Ashang, whom he said, has in his private capacity, contributed immensely to the development of sports in the state, by way of sponsoring sportsmen and women to advance their career, noting that his vision for sports in Cross River aligns very well with that of the present administration.
Responding, the Attorney General thanked the management and technical crew for the visit and promised to watch all Rovers home matches and as well as support the team in whichever way possible.
High point of the visit was the presentation of Rovers branded jersey to the Attorney General.
