Ikorodu City FC are experiencing a remarkable renaissance under the leadership of Nurudeen Aweroro, whose mid-season appointment has breathed new life into the club’s fortunes.
When Aweroro took over, the Lagos-based side were languishing at the bottom of the table, winless and seemingly destined for another forgettable campaign.

But in just a matter of weeks, he has transformed the team into one of Nigeria’s most talked-about success stories.
Under his guidance, Ikorodu City have surged into contention for a continental spot — an achievement that seemed unthinkable at the start of the season.
Their climb up the standings has been fueled by tactical discipline, renewed confidence, and a team spirit that reflects Aweroro’s leadership.
But the league is only part of the fairy tale. Ikorodu City have also made deep runs in cup competitions, reaching the Lagos FA Cup final and securing a place in the semi-finals of the prestigious President Federation Cup — Nigeria’s oldest and most competitive knockout tournament.
Fans and pundits alike have been quick to credit Aweroro’s clear vision, man-management, and tactical flexibility as key to the club’s transformation.
What seemed like a season to forget has turned into one of historic promise — and with momentum on their side, Ikorodu City are dreaming bigger than ever.
