He therefore calls on wealthy citizens and companies to invest in the growth and development of sports.

The governor commended the proprietor and members of Ifeanyi Uba FC for the feat, and for demonstrating that the private ownership and management of football teams in Nigeria is the way to go in order to win laurels, create jobs and sustainably manage clubs, as practiced in Europe.
