Boboye joined the Uyo club during the 2019-2020 NPFL season and won the league title with the club in the 2020-2021 season – his second league title as a coach after lifting the trophy with Plateau United in 2017.
The former striker was in-charge of Akwa United as the team made its CAF Champions League debut in 2021 and after a run of poor results, he resigned from his position as head coach of the team in 2022.
Chairman of the club Elder Paul Bassey described “Boboye’s return to the team as necessary, adding that the decision to re-assign the coach was because of his track records and previous achievements with the club”.
Bassey expressed optimism that the coach will bring his wealth of experience to bear on the team with a turnaround in the team’s fortunes in the second half of the season.
