The opening match between the FFS and NIS did not hold due to the absence of the NIS team, resulting in an automatic award of three points and three goals to the Fire Service team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another tightly contested fixture, the NSCDC and NCoS played to a goalless draw, leading to a penalty shootout in which the Civil Defence team triumphed 4\u20132 to secure their place in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grand finale drew an enthusiastic crowd that included the Controller General, DCG A.M. Tambari, representatives of allied agencies, and sports enthusiasts. The Federal Fire Service clinched the championship with a 1\u20130 victory, thanks to a decisive goal by Gideon Musa following a foul committed against Team Fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CG Olumode later presented gold, silver, and bronze medals, along with the championship trophy, officially declaring the Federal Fire Service winners of the inaugural CGF Cup. He expressed heartfelt appreciation to all participating agencies and reaffirmed his commitment to promoting sports development, enhancing staff welfare, and improving service delivery nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Public Relations Officer, <strong>DCF Paul Abraham<\/strong>, praised the athletes for their discipline, teamwork, and exemplary sportsmanship. He noted that their outstanding performance brought pride to the Service and confirmed that the trophy would be formally presented to the Controller General at a later date as part of ongoing
