“I’m happy to see this sited in my domain here in Ibadan, it’s only this kind of gesture that can save our football which is on the brink of collapse. I must appreciate this good gesture of Prince Oluwole Ololade for investing hugely into our grassroots football, what I have seen here are what is obtainable in standard soccer academy I have visited in Europe”, Lawal
noted.
