#2 They have the full support of their state government
Dakkada FC is based in Uyo, the capital city of the Oil-rich state of Akwa Ibom in the Niger Delta.
Given its oil-rich pedigree, it stands to reason that Akwa Ibom state is one of the most financially stable states in the whole of Nigeria and this has translated into massive financial support for its football clubs.
The state is the only one in the country to have two clubs in the current NPFL (Dakkada and Akwa United) and despite the extra burden of running two clubs, it has been unfazed and has been unwavering in its support of the two clubs.
Before the start of the season, the Akwa Ibom state government went on a spending spree that saw the playing squad of Dakkada reinforced in a bid to strengthen the team ahead of their debut campaign in the top-flight.
So far, they have not shown any signs of wavering and with Governor Udom Emmanuel a well-known football-lover, it is highly likely that he would continue supporting the club to go all the way.
