South West Games to honour Adenuga as Africa’s Pillar of Sports

The Chairman of Globacom, Dr. Michael Adenuga Jr., is set to receive one of the highest honours in African sports as he will be celebrated as the Pillar of Sports in Africa at the opening ceremony of the South West Games 2025.
 
Slated to be held on March 26, at the Onikan Stadium, this prestigious recognition underscores his influence on sports development in Nigeria and across the continent, particularly in football, where his visionary sponsorship and commitment have left an indelible mark.
 

The magnitude of this sponsorship dwarfed that of the domestic league, making Globacom the backbone of Nigerian football.
 
President of the South West Games, Dr. Lanre Alfred, praised Adenuga’s unparalleled contributions, describing him as a true sports benefactor whose generosity has changed the landscape of African football.
 
“Dr. Adenuga is a national treasure and a continental icon. His contributions to sports development are second to none, and we are honoured to recognise him as the Pillar of Sports in Africa. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of athletes and sports enthusiasts across the continent,” Dr. Alfred said.
 
The South West Games 2025, a landmark sporting event set to take place in March 2025, will bring together over 1,200 athletes and 120 officials in a grand celebration of sports and youth development.
