<br>We’re thrilled to see FC Barau’s meteoric rise into the NPFL—an inspiring story of determination and strategic backing. Uzo Ezeobi Jr.’s mantra, "hard work pays," underlines a culture of [resilience](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/local-clubs-and-academies/) that any club would envy. It wasn’t luck it was systematic effort, night after night, and solidarity under pressure.

<br>Equally crucial is the role of leadership. Senator Barau’s financial support—from bonuses to resources showed belief in the project. That kind of investment turns dreams into destinies. FC Barau have unified a vision: from grassroots recruitment to Super 8 glory, their journey now extends to the elite tier.

<br>We believe this model should serve as a blueprint. Progress in Nigerian football needs both community ambition and institutional commitment. As FC Barau prepare to test themselves in the NPFL, we urge every stakeholder to sustain this momentum. The same work ethic and backing that earned promotion must define their next chapter.
