Coach of Wikki Spikers Volleyball Club, Monday Dada, says the team will continue to work hard to secure qualification for next season’s Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC) Premier League.

Mr Dada said this during an interview on Sunday in Abuja after his side defeated Kada Kings 3-1 in the ongoing 2026 National Division One and Two Volleyball League.

Wikki Spikers recorded a 3-1 (25-16, 25-18, 17-25, 25-21) victory over Kada Kings in a Division One encounter.

Wikki Spikers dominated the opening two sets, winning 25-16 and 25-18 through disciplined blocking and effective attacking play.

Kada Kings fought back in the third set, raising their intensity to claim a 25-17 victory and reduce the deficit.

However, Wikki Spikers regained control in the fourth set, maintaining composure at crucial moments to win 25-21 and seal the match 3-1.

Mr Dada commended his players for their commitment and discipline throughout the competition.

“My dream is for my players to prosper and move to bigger teams. That is what I always encourage them to do. I really thank the boys for their efforts and discipline during the season.

“It is nothing but hard work. We prepared well, had a game plan, and by the grace of God, it worked for us. It was a very difficult match, but we thank God that we came through in style,” he said.

The coach expressed confidence in the team’s progress and its ambition to compete at a higher level.

“By God’s grace, we are doing our best and taking it step by step. Our target is to qualify for the CGC Premier League,” he said.
