Dreams Talks: Can you share with us your passion for a Career in Sports Journalism?

Femi Raji: Absolutely! My passion for sports journalism runs deep, dating back to my university days. I’ve always had a strong interest in sports and thoroughly enjoyed discussing various sporting events. My journey began when I joined the television authority, and that’s where I saw an opportunity to inject more life and insightful analysis into sports journalism. It’s been a rewarding journey for me, one that’s rooted in my genuine love for sports.

 

Dreams Talks : The African Cup of Nations in Cameroon 2021 was a significant event for Africans Globally. Could you provide insights into the challenges and successes of your communication efforts leading up to and during the tournament?

Femi Raji : The African Cup of Nations in Cameroon was a momentous event for us. As the media officer of the Super Eagles, it was my first major tournament, and we wanted to ensure that Nigerians were deeply engaged and excited about it. We focused on strengthening media relations and ensuring open access for our colleagues in the media because we see them as valuable partners. Creating a buzz and generating interest among Nigerians was our top priority. Challenges did arise, such as managing information flow and perceptions, but overall, it was a highly successful and rewarding experience.

Dreams Talks: As the Communication Chief, you’ve been instrumental in overseeing Nigeria’s campaign in multiple qualifiers. Could you highlight some of the most memorable moments or campaigns that stand out to you during this journey?

Femi Raji: Absolutely, there have been some unforgettable moments during our campaign. One that stands out is when we played against Sao Tome and Principe, and we won 10-0, creating a historical record. Another remarkable experience was our journey to Benin Republic, where we traveled by boat to play a match. It was a unique and innovative trip that allowed us to open channels of trade and transportation between both countries. We were successful in beating Benin Republic, and it was a fantastic journey overall. Currently, we are working on an exciting campaign for the next African Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, and our theme is “Let’s do it again.” We are determined to relive our past successes and aim to win the cup once more.
