VCN Sports Limited is a household name in the business of sports equipment supply across the federation. The company C.E.O Chief Victor Nwaribeaku (Akwu-Ugo) was recently inducted as the Patron of Super Eagles Supporters Club and had a media chat with journalists after the colourful events at the Super Eagles Supporters Club Sectariat in Lagos.
Chief Victor Nwaribeaku:
"VCN Sports Ltd is a household name in general sports equipment. We are into the supply of all sporting equipment for football, handball, basketball, rugby, badminton, hockey, table tennis, long tennis, physically challenged sports equipment, fitness machine etc."
Against the backdrop of the ongoing renovation of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos which previously housed VCN Sports complex, the company has moved to a state of the art edifice, VCN Sports Plaza, situated inside Teslim Balogun Stadium and has its headquarters at Ojuelegba, Lagos.
A staunch sports aficionado, the Imo state born passion for sports endeared him into sport business and was fully supported and tutor by his uncle who is equally into sports equipment business.
"Actually, what motivated me to go into sports business is the passion I have for the game of football. After my graduation from higher institution, my uncle, the C.E.O of S.O.O & BROTHERS LTD, who is also into sports equipment business took me along, and under his tutelage I learnt the nitty gritty of the business and I established my own business in the year 2000.
I love sports in general before delving into the business and the passion has been a catalyst for our success and achievements so far in the journey."
Chief Victor Nwaribeaku was inducted as the Patron of the Super Eagles Supporters Club on the 6th of March 2021 by the President of the club, Prince Vincent Okumagba and was decorated by the Club's BOT chairman, Hon. Oladejo Rasheed in the full glare of other SESC members.
