The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo CFR, according to the former African Best setter, has established an environment that allows the team to succeed.

He said, "I want to state categorically that CNS Spikers doesn't belong to the National Division 1 League. As you can see from the scoreline against Kwara, CNS Spikers mean business in the volleyball league.

"We are currently one of the most exposed volleyball teams in the country, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo CFR has been able to change the face of volleyball in the service.

"My mission in Owerri is simple; it is to win the National Division 1 League and qualify for the Premier League. The players are hungry to taste topflight volleyball because they have the African Club Championships twice in a row."

The former National Setter heaped praises on the coordinator of CNS Spikers volleyball teams, Commodore Aliyu Pindar for bringing his wealth of experience into the team and repositioning the volleyball teams through the support of the Chief of Naval Staff.
