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

"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.
