The recent directive by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Youth and Sports Minister, Sunday Dare and the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, on the imperative of improving football performance and standards in the country, no doubt, was a clarion call.
President Buhari had directed both the minister and the NFF boss during a meeting at the Presidential Villa to fashion out a 10-year football development plan that will see the game âdevelop and move in a more dynamic trajectory from football administration to youth and grassroots football, talent hunt and use of Nigeriaâs home-based talentsâ.
Founder, African Children Talent Discovery Foundation (ACTDF), Noah Dallaji, has said that the body would continue to provide the platform for youths who are talented in the game of football to realize their dream.
Dallaji made this known at the weekend at the end of a two-day talent hunt and mentoring programme organized by the foundation in Bauchi, Bauchi State.
The event which is part of the Engr. Noah Dallaji Legacy Project covering music, entertainment and the arts had football as main interest in its second edition where talents of 16 and 18 years were selected and mentored by soccer legends. A total of 12 outstanding talents were discovered at the event.
