Kojo Motors Limited, last Saturday inside the Meadow Football pitch in Lekki, Lagos trounced Elizade Nigeria Limited by 1- 0 in what spectators described indeed as an excruciating sapping and excruciating encounter.
This is the first time that Kojo Motors Limited will be winning the coveted trophy in the company’s more than two decades as a flourishing Toyota dealer in NIgeria. To get to the finals, Kojo Motors Limited edged out R.T. Briscoe Plc team while Elizade Nigeria defeated Germaine team.
While the over all winners got rewarded with N3 million, second position went home with N2 million while the third place winner received N1.5million as cash prices. The tournament was put on held few l years stopped due to the outbreak of COVID-19 endemic.
The trophy  handed over to
the fast expanding and frontline Toyota dealer in Nigeria by Chief Michael Ade-Ojo and assisted by Kunle Ade-Ojo, Chairman and Managing Director of Toyota Nigeria Limited respectively was the highpoint of the week-long Toyota Nigeria Limited (TNL)  Inter-Dealer football competition among the registered accredited dealers of the Japanese nameplate across Nigeria.
Handing over the Trophy to the team in the presence of visibly excited Ikenna Oguegbu, founder/chairman of Kojo Motors Limited, Chief Michael Ade-Ojo congratulated the team for their victory while calling on other teams to work hard in subsequent editions of the competition.
In his own remarks, Kunle Ade-Ojo, Managing Director of Toyota Nigeria Limited (TNL), described the annual event as a corporate strategy put in by the Toyota brand franchisee  to encourage inter dealer bonding among the local distributors as well as its corporate and fleet buyers.
The TNL boss commended the dogged fighting spirit and resilience among all the teams that participated in the competition, saying that, in any contestation or competition, there will always be losers and  winners.
Fielding questions on how Kojo Motors get to the final of the competition and eventually lifted the Toyota Cup,
Stephen Ehiedu, team manager of Kojo Motors declared that victory was achieved through hard work and discipline of the players throughout the period that competition lasted.
“Management of Kojo Motors ensured that all cash allowances  were paid and other necessary incentives made available during the training and match days.
Describing the road to getting to the final of the competition
as very very tough, the team manager disclosed that, during the group stage, Kojo won the first two matches by beating Metropolitan Motors and Germain Motors 7-0 and 1-0 respectively, lost to Omoregie Motors, but still topped group B.
“Despite injury concerns on the bumby travel to the hard earned victory, our players fought courageouly to get to the semi finals, beating R. T. Briscoe Plc on penalty shootouts after the game ended 1-1.
Responding on chances of  Kojo Motors winning the Toyota Cup, Stephen Ehiedu discribed all the participating teams as very strong.
“However the squad we selected this time gave us the convincing assurance, that it’s doable. When you watch the game, you’ll have no doubt that, they are capable of lifting the trophy”
Ehiedu regretted that during the last competition in 2019 before it was suspended as a result of the pandemic, Kojo Motors team lost the third placed.
“Having qualified for the semi finals during that period, I was optimistic of getting to the finals, but something happened. Our captain at that time Adeyemi Agbomabinwon was injured and that was the end”.
He further said that, the excitement that greeted the winning of the trophy by Kojo Motors Trophy was overwhelming. I can’t even explain the level of excitement. My chairman was so happy, his wife and all Kojo staff, friends and families were not left out”.
While basking in the euphoria of the much celebrated, Ehiedu said that other areas of improvement are that the LOC need to introduce the award to the most valuable player (MVP) after every match played as well as changing the time of the game from the rainy season to dry season.
He also suggested that, if possible, the venue can be changed to allow spectators as supporters club and other activities  that will make game fun.
