He attributed the remarkable performance of the CNS Spikers team to the immense support of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo CFR which has enabled the team to participate and gain exposure across Africa over the last 18 months.

Commodore Pindar noted that the level of motivation enjoyed by the team from the CNS over time resulted in the overwhelming feat recorded at Owerri.

He assured the Federation that the second phase of the league will witness better performance going by excellent unbroken records by the team in local and international competitions.

„It is gladdening to note that the team played a total of 16 matches; 12 in the Division 2, and 4 in Division 1 without dropping a set“ he said.

Commodore Pindar therefore, assured the Nigeria Volleyball Federation (NVBF) of the team‘s resolve to make the country proud in all competitive games be it, local, regional or international appearances.

The statement stated further that the team at various competitions showcased themselves creditably;“ the male team won the Kontagora Championship in March 2023, while the female team came 2nd in the tournament in which 37 teams in Nigeria participated. In addition, the team won the Most Valuable Player for male and Best Setter male at Kontagora.

In May 2023, the female team was nominated by the NVBF to represent Nigeria at the Africa Women Volleyball Championship in Kelibia, Tunisia“.

He recalled that the CNS Spikers Volleyball teams were the only volleyball club that represented Nigeria in the 2023 African Club Volley Championship held in Tunisia where they were commended for the international recognition accorded Nigeria for sporting activities having emerged 7th and 9th positions in the female and male categories among the 15 Final Standing participating teams.

 

„Although it was the first appearance of CNS Spikers Volleyball Club in such international championship, the team defeated some highly rated teams from Ethiopia and Cote D’voire at the tournament.

 

„It is also on record that the CNS Spikers team broke the 38 years’ jinx of Armed Forces of Nigeria volleyball teams not attaining levels deserving of representing the nation at international championships“ he added.

 

He reiterated that the Nigerian Navy under the leadership of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo CFR pledges to continually support and contribute to the development of sports in the country for the overall good of our great nation.
