“The Kogi Confluence Stars, have been preparing for the league, we have recruited new hands and had integrated them into the team for the past weeks.

“From every angel of our preparations, we are hoping that this year, we want to be at the medal table of the Prudent Energy Handball Premier League. The title remains our priority.
