Rangers International FC Partners with NDLEA to Promote Drug-Free Sports Culture
As preparations intensify for the 2025/2026 NPFL season, Rangers International FC has taken a bold step toward promoting integrity in sports by partnering with the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The collaboration aims to educate players and officials on the dangers of illicit drug use and reinforce the club’s commitment to clean competition.
The initiative was marked by an impactful advocacy visit from NDLEA officials to the Rangers Players Camp in Enugu.
Leading the delegation, Deputy Zonal Commander Barrister Ekwalor Amaka delivered a powerful message, urging athletes to embrace discipline and hard work rather than resorting to performance-enhancing substances.
‘Success earned through dedication is far more rewarding than shortcuts that lead to disgrace,’ Amaka warned. ‘The use of illicit drugs may seem like a quick path to victory, but it ultimately ends in regret.’
Representing the club’s General Manager/CEO Barrister Amobi Ezeaku, Administrative Secretary Barrister Alex Egbo expressed gratitude to the NDLEA for their timely intervention. He reaffirmed Rangers’ zero-tolerance stance on drug abuse and its unwavering commitment to fair play.
Team doctor Dr. Wen Udeoji also commended the NDLEA’s efforts, emphasizing that Rangers remains a ‘clean club’ and will continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism.
The session concluded with a lively Q and A segment, allowing players and officials to engage directly with NDLEA representatives. A symbolic exchange of memorabilia and group photographs sealed the occasion, reflecting the shared values of both organizations.
In a related move to strengthen discipline within the squad, the club unveiled a newly developed Code of Conduct. Presented by Barrister Egbo, the document outlines behavioral expectations and serves as a roadmap for achieving the team’s goals in the upcoming season.
‘This Code of Conduct is designed to guide every player toward responsible behavior and help us reach our collective targets,’ Egbo stated.
