Speaking during the event, Team Manager of the club, Otunba Seyi Adefarati said the event was organised to promote healthier relationships between members and their wives.
His words: “Although, El-Marino is widely recognised as a sports club, we are also a social club. While we promote good and vibrant health amongst members through participation in sporting activities, we also deem it important to enhance healthy relationships between our members, their wives and children. That is why we decided to organise this dinner.”

“As you can see, we are indeed very elated at this opportunity not just to bond with our spouses but also to interact with other wives. Please continue the good work,” she pointed out.
