However, his transition to football administration truly cemented his legacy.

During his tenure at FC Taraba  as team coordinator,he formed a formidable partnership with Tijani Babangida, the Chairman of the club and  former Super Eagles winger and President of the Professional Footballers Association of Nigeria (PFAN). This "made-in-heaven" duo took FC Taraba  from obscurity to national prominence, guiding the club to the NPFL. Their success was unfortunately short-lived, as politics and selfish interests derailed the team’s progress, leading to its collapse. Yet, Father Dennis never stopped working, dedicating himself to helping clubs establish the structures needed for sustainable growth.

When the Kaduna State Government decided to restore their footballing pride through Kada Warriors, they turned to Tijani Babangida—an experienced league administrator—who, without hesitation, brought Father Dennis on board as the team coordinator,.Tasked with securing promotion, Father Dennis embraced the challenge with his trademark tenacity. A battle-hardened league veteran unafraid of uncharted territory, he wasted no time in setting Kada Warriors on the right path.

The results speak for themselves. In their opening game, Kada Warriors stunned Adamawa United on their home turf, claiming a remarkable victory in front of a hostile crowd. Father Dennis has once again stepped onto the threshold of history, determined to write another chapter of triumph.

With his expertise and unwavering commitment, hopes are high that Father Dennis under the guidance of Tijani Babangida can lead Kada Warriors to the NPFL, restoring Kaduna's place at the pinnacle of Nigerian  .
