A member of the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA), Prince Ifalada Oyekan, has donated kits to aspiring football players in his bid to assist them to realise their dreams.
Oyekan, who made the donation last Saturday to budding footballers who play at Jankara playground, Lagos-Island, gave football boots, shin guards, football hoses, jersies out as a form of motivation.
Oyekan, who is also the chairman, Lagos Divisional Football Association (LDFA), thanked the chairman of the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA), Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, for appointing him as the chairman of LSFA’s Chairman Grassroots Committee.
He stated that his appointment had paved the way for him to have adequate knowledge of grassroots football.
Oyekan said having discovered that Nigeria was blessed with so many talented footballers, there was the need for him to delve in to such humanitarian service as it would go a long way to boost the careers of indigent players.
Oyekan, who had donated sets of jersies to the winners of EKO Football Fiesta U-13 and U-16 and a trophy to the LSFA, said he would not relent in his effort to help indigent players become professionals, adding that the gesture would complement the effort of LSFA to further develop the game at the grassroots.
