That has always been the missing ingredients with Nigerian players, we are never lacking in talents but developing the players in the right way as always been a challenge for our boys but we decided to change the narrative and the first thing we ensured we did was getting our scouting and recruitment policies right. We also adopted and integrated one of the best youth Academies in Ibadan as our Under 15 team and today we are beginning to enjoy the dividends of those hardwork and strategic planning of years.’
