In his response, Gusau said the doors of the Federation will always be open to all individuals who are competent in their areas of jurisdiction to administer football in the right way, with particular emphasis on grassroots development, which is his administration’s cardinal pillar in ensuring that Nigeria Football attains much-desired heights in no distant future.
“You are just starting, and I don’t want you to be deterred by anything because it has to be a gradual process. There are always challenges along the way when you start a new project, but do not lose sight of your objective and vision. Allow your vision to guide you and help you overcome all hurdles and obstacles on the way to attaining your goals.”
The Executive Vice Chairman of Green Lock FC, Mr Olufunsho Peters said he is impressed with what the Federation has achieved under the present Gusau’s administration, and believes it is important to identify and key into this project for the growth of the club.
“We are here to identify with you, to key into your vision of grassroots football development. We are enamoured by what you have been doing and the way you have been going about setting Nigeria Football in a fresh and positive direction.”
Chief Coordinating Executive of Green Lock FC, Mr Olayinka Oladunjoye also thumbed up the Gusau administration and admitted that identifying with the Federation is the best way forward for the club to progress. “We are not just here to show our faces to you, but we truly want to identify with you and your vision for Nigeria Football, and we want to be part of your dream to change the narrative of football in the country.”
