The atmosphere at the Silverbird Galleria in Victoria Island, Lagos, came alive on Monday, May 4, 2026, as staff of Silverbird Group gathered in a vibrant show of unity and pride to celebrate the triumphant STV Seaside Sharks following their Workers’ Day victory.
Just days after clinching the trophy on Friday, May 1, the Silverbird football team returned to a hero’s welcome, with colleagues from across all departments assembling at the heart of the Galleria by noon to honour their achievement. What began as a simple celebration quickly transformed into a powerful display of camaraderie, as cheers, applause, and chants echoed through the venue.
The event drew the presence of top management and departmental heads, including the Group Head, Digital, Mr Joshua Olorunfemi, and the Group Head of People’s Operations, Onajevwe Akakabota, alongside other key leaders within the organisation. In their remarks, they commended the team’s resilience, discipline, and winning spirit, describing the victory as a reflection of the excellence that defines the Silverbird brand.
At the centre of the celebration were the players themselves, proudly adorned with their medals as they relived their winning moment. In a symbolic highlight of the gathering, the team lifted the trophy once again, this time, surrounded by an electrified crowd of colleagues who shared in the joy of their success.
More than just a sporting achievement, the victory became a unifying force for the entire organisation. Football, in its unique way, dissolved departmental lines and brought everyone together as one family, singing, cheering, and celebrating a shared moment of triumph.
For Silverbird Group, the celebration was not only about a trophy won, but about the spirit of teamwork, unity, and collective pride that continues to drive the organisation forward.
