“Together, we have rewritten the narrative of grassroots sports development, creating viable pathways for our youth to thrive, excel, and discover their full potential,” he said.
Looking ahead, Agha Mba expressed confidence that Iloenyosi’s “wealth of experience, unyielding passion, and deep-rooted love for football will steer Anambra sports to even greater heights.”
