In a dramatic twist, NULASS LASUED mounted a spectacular comeback, turning the tables with a stunning 3-2 victory. Ogundeko Temitayo's crucial goals fueled the reversal, underscoring the spirit of resilience and healthy competition that defined the match.


Post-match, Prince Adeyemi Ogunlari, the Student Affairs Officer and staff adviser to NULASS LASUED, took center stage to commend the remarkable display of sportsmanship and talent demonstrated by both teams. He assured the visiting LASUSTECH players that they would be well cared for during their stay in Epe.

Comrade Surakat emphasized the importance of such inter-campus events in fostering strong bonds among students and promoting healthy competition.


As the tour progressed, students delved into Epe's rich cultural heritage. A visit to the king's palace revealed Epe's traditional authority, where the Olu Epe of Epe Kingdom, HRM Oba Shefiu Olatunji Adewale, said Epe is an ancient town, open to developments and also shared insights on socio-economic matters and voiced support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
