“Over the past three years, Ojo has been an integral part of our team, contributing significantly to our growth and success. His dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence have made a lasting impact on our club, and we are forever grateful. Last season, he played a crucial role in helping us win the prestigious Nigeria Professional Football League title, a moment that will be etched in our history forever. For three seasons, Ojo’s dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence, and will always be a part of the Enyimba family,” Enyimba posted on their official website, wishing Ojo good luck in his next step in his career.
