The approval, conveyed in a letter signed by NWFL chief operating officer, Modupe Shabi, followed a rigorous verification process confirming that the state government met all the requirements for the takeover and name change.

Effective immediately, Benue Queens will take over all fixtures, points, and standings previously held by Honey Badgers in the NWFL Premiership.

Commenting on the development, Shabi said, “After submitting to the very rigorous process put in place to ensure that only serious, business-minded individuals and corporate groups are admitted to club ownership, the NWFL is satisfied that the Benue State government has substantially met all requirements and has been granted approval to take over Honey Badgers.”

She highlighted the potential positive impact of the transition: “The Benue State government has demonstrated its commitment to operating and funding the club in line with NWFL regulations, which are designed to protect the integrity of the league and safeguard the interests of players and other stakeholders involved in the NWFL.”
