Nigeria’s longest serving club curator, Mr. Ganiyu Bello, also known as Rondo, was the centre of attraction on Thursday when Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) held a valedictory reception for some of its outgoing staff in Ibadan. At the colorful event held at the club’s secretariat in Jericho, the quartet of Mr. Bello (Rondo), Mrs. Olubunmi Aina (Iya Shooting), Mr. Morufu Oladejo (Warrior) and Mr. Ojo Oluwasanjo Thomas (Baba Ojo) were honoured for their selfless service to the team. Earlier, 3SC’s Director of Administration, Mr. Rahman Olapade, read the four retirees’ profiles, saying they deserved to rest after years of unblemished services to the club. Alhaji Rondo is one of the longest serving club curators in Nigeria, while both Warrior and Baba Ojo are among the longest serving drivers, just as Iya Shooting, a well known female backer of the club, is one of the longest serving staff of the Oluyole Warriors. Cheques, customised jerseys and other souvenirs were later presented to the retirees by the commissioner, alongside Balogun and the Special Assistant (Sports) to Governor Makinde, Mr. Oyewunmi Oluwatobi.
