The President of Nigerian Union in Japan, Chief Kennedy Fintan Nnaji, has been named the new patron of the Sports Writers' Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Lagos State Chapter.

Speaking at the investiture ceremony held at the Lagos SWAN Secretariat, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, on Friday, the chairman of the association, Mr Debo Osundun, described Chief Nnaji as a worthy ambassador who ensured that Nigerians based in Japan were made to feel at home away from home.

The sport writers' boss said the choice of Fintan as a patron was borne out of his sterling qualities as a purposeful leader.

His words: "Some associations have many politicians as their patrons, because of the financial gains but that is not the case with us in Lagos SWAN.

"So, I want congratulate Chief Nnaji for fulfilling all the qualities we are looking for.

"We also hope he will play very important role when the Tokyo 2020 Olympics commences in Japan.

An elated Nnaji, in his response, thanked the association for the honour, saying the appointment would further motivate him to contribute more to humanity.

"For me, the reward for hard work is more work. So, I will continue to work hard to make the world a good place to live.

"I say a big thank you to the Lagos SWAN chairman, Mr Debo Osundun, his executive board members and the entire association for the honour done me.

"By His grace, this will mark the beginning of great things to happen to the association," said Nnaji, who is Chief Executive of Nahfkenn Associates Plc, a Japan-based freight forwarder.

The Imo state born business mogul was presented with a plague, Super Eagles jersey and signed certificate.

The ceremony was graced by Chief Nnaji's family, friends and business associates, as well as the immediate past chairman, Lagos SWAN chairman, Mr Fred Edoreh, and other notable members of the association.
