Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has approved the appointment of Mr Daniel Eke as the new Sporting Director of Enyimba International Football Club, Aba.
The appointment was announced in a statement issued on Sunday by the state Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, who said the move aligns with the state government’s resolve to restore Enyimba FC to its rightful place among Africa’s elite football clubs.
Kanu said the decision is part of efforts to reposition the club for sustainable growth while strengthening its business, professional, and administrative structure.
He also disclosed that the former Sporting Director, Mr Ifeanyi Ekwueme, has resigned.
According to the statement, Eke is a product of Enyimba FC’s feeder team and has built an impressive career in football management and player development.
“Over the years, he has served in several technical and managerial capacities across top Nigerian clubs,” the statement read.
It added that his professional excellence has earned him notable recognitions, including Most Successful Football Agent in Africa (2020), Most Successful Football Agent in Nigeria (2020), and Highest Goal Scorer Manager (Chijioke Akenato, 2020).
