"I feel so happy with this win, it was important that we win and I'm excited that we got the win. Scoring my first goal for ABS FC is a dream come true, and I'm eager to score more." He said.

Olaniyan also praised his coach, Ahmed Sani Sarduana for believing in his abilities, giving him the opportunity to showcase his talent. "I appreciate my coach's faith in me, and I'm grateful to the chairman for giving me the opportunity to play for this great club."
