Jide Bodunde

MD/CEO of New Year Mega Lottery Limited and tittle sponsor of the Nation- wide League One (NLO), Chief Sunday Adeleye has stated the reason why NewYear Mega Lottery has picked up the tittle sponsorship of the Third tier league for the next 4 years.

He made this statement while speaking with newsmen at the opening ceremony of the NLO24 New Year Mega Lottery at the Ahmadu Bello stadium, Kaduna.

"I've been all around sport and the language i understand is giving back to people and the youth. I championed that area where I believe I should give back to Nigerian youth because sport made me who I am today.

The former owner of Dynamic Sporting Solutions FC (DSS) further stated that the youths can be like him and even surpass his achievements through sport. "If the youth follow my footsteps and footprints and advise, they can even do better than me. Giving back is not something I have to think or prepare about, it's something I have to do and I've been doing that".

When asked if the initial four year deal is renewable, he said, "It's a marriage we just got into and we are looking forward to bettering the marriage. New Year Mega Lottery is not just looking at football but ahtletics and other sports because sport development is about funding and support to make it strive and it's one sector other corporate bodies are not looking at but we are taking advantage of that because we are born into sport and will continue to do it better in the area of development".

Lagos State Football Association Chairman, Hajji Liameed Olawale Gafar, has congratulated Manu Garba, on his appointment as the new head coach of the Nigeria U17 national football team, the Golden Eaglets.

Manu Garba's first tenure as Eaglets Manager saw him handling footballers such as Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Isaac Success, Francis Uzoho, Chidiebere Nwakali and Musa Muhammed to victory at the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup.

According to Hajji Gafar, he believes that this experience makes Manu Garba the ideal candidate to lead the Golden Eaglets to new heights.

The coach who returns for his third stint with the team has been saddled with the responsibility of leading the current crop of players to next month's WAFU B U17 Championship which serves as qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) recently appointed the former Flying Eagles manager as the Golden Eaglets' head coach.

Hajji Gafar harped on the need to make talents discovered at the NFF/NPFL U17 Youth League a priority by the gaffer.

"I would like to congratulate you (Manu Garba) on your appointment as the new head coach of the Golden Eaglets," said Hajji Gafar, NFF/NPFL Youth Development Coordinator (Southwest Zone).

"I strongly believe your rich experience in coaching young talents will propel our development football brand, the Golden Eaglets, to the pedestal we have always desired it to be."

"I urge you to strive for nothing but excellence, be open to constructive criticisms and be your own man.

"The leadership of NFF has set the ball rolling through NPFL before appointing Manu Garba so the screening exercise for players should be a walk in the park.

"I appeal that the new U17 team should be built around NPFL Youth League players across Nigeria.

"The 17 top talents from the Southwest zone include Abiodun Olawoye (Shooting Stars), Oguniran Mujeeb Tomiwa (Shooting Stars), Samad Adekunle (Shooting Stars), Taofeek Afolabi Samad (Shooting Stars), Aribo Faith (Remo Stars), Olasunkanmi Abass (Remo Stars), Adejimi Peter (Remo Stars), Olatunji Olamilekan (Remo Stars) and Olaniyo Precious (Remo Stars)."

"Others are Yusuf Abdullahi (Sporting Lagos), Oluwaseun Akanji (Sporting Lagos), Edward Ochigbo (Sporting Lagos), Naziru Yusuf (Sporting Lagos), Michael Awelewa (Sporting Lagos), Samuel Ita Umoh (Sporting Lagos), Afolabi Omobolaji Oluwasegun (Sunshine Stars) and Kehinde Oluwole (Sunshine Stars)."

"This should enable NFF/NPFL clubs and coaches of these young prodigies benefit fully from where they've been sowing," Hajji Gafar concluded.
