He added that the gesture would help in discovering talents who could become Nigeria's future football stars, stressing that the state must ensure that the sports programmes are organised and managed by credible sports administrators who are well endowed how best to manage sports.

He said Nigeria was naturally endowed with abundant talents in various sporting activities but lack of organised structures to project them to limelight has been the major problem.
