At the Lagos House, Marina, on Sunday, Girish Sharma, the Managing Director/CEO of Guinness Nigeria PLC, formally presented the trophy to the governor.
The Premier League trophy being brought to Lagos, according to Sanwo-Olu, who spoke during the occasion, demonstrated that “there is something positive about our followership, enthusiasm, and the development of sports in our country, but more importantly in Lagos.”
The governor, on his X handle, said he had a good conversation about sports and collaboration.
