According to former Green Eagles Captain, Chief Segun Odegbami (MON), 40 students, made up of 30 boys and 10 girls who will enjoy full scholarships will be selected as the pioneer group for the Lanreleke Sports Academy which will begin studies in October later this year.
He said the aim of the programme was to discover students who are talented in some sports and who want to read so as to combine the two together as the school is offering them a three years scholarship.
He said “The students would not be above 14 years by October 1 and must also have the minimum educational qualification of the Junior Secondary School Certificate as they must be in at least SS1 by then.
“The aspiring students must have obtained their first and second term JSS 3 results and must possess special abilities to engage in any of three sports that will be played at the Lanreleke Sports Academy.
