“We’ve identified over nine players from the teams that played today , who are potential feeders for Bendel Insurance and Edo Queens,” Shaibu stated after the ceremony.
“What We want to achieve is to catch them young at the grassroots level and one important thing is that the Education Week is showcasing not just the knowledge, but that beyond the knowledge, there is need for physical wellbeing. We are using their physical mentality to stabilise their academic pursuits.
