Cayakur Rizespor forward, Ibrahim Olawoyin has expressed his delight after winning the club’s Player of the Month award in January and February, Sports Extra reports.
The former Super Eagles B playmaker was honoured for his contributions in both months after helping the club to two wins and a draw in three matches during the period. He scored a goal and had an assist in those games.
“I feel honoured to have been named the player of the month for January and February. I appreciate my teams for the support and the fans for the love, please keep it coming,” Olawoyin said after receiving the award.
Olawoyin is also in line for the March gong after contributing two goals and two assists in that period.
The 25-year-old joined Rizespor from Ankara Keciörengücü in January and they have since moved from sixth to second on the table in the run-in for promotion into the Turkish Super Lig with 63 points from 32 matches.
In a combined 29 appearances in the Turkish 1st division, Olwaoyin has seven goals and 10 assists.
Olawoyin will be in action again this weekend as Cayakur Rizespor visit third-placed Pendikspor on Saturday.
Editor’s Note
In our post on February 19, 2023, in a story ‘Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan’, we reported that a middle-aged woman, simply known as Mama Dada, set herself ablaze over her inability to pay back a loan of N70,000 she reportedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since discovered that the microfinance bank referred to in the story was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologise to the LAPO Group for the error in the identification of the name of the said microfinance bank where the deceased took the loan. The mix-up in the name of the MFB is not deliberate.
