The target is to raise N50m through this initiative this season and we have engaged the services of notable sports marketing company to handle the project.”
“There would be three categories of fans in the arrangement, with those in gold category paying N50, 000 annually while fans in silver category will pay N20, 000 while those who belong to the bronze will pay N5000 annually. As incentives for their support, the fans will all be entitled to season ticket and other benefits”.

“At the end of the season, he (Ogunbote) demanded for N2.5m from the money we owed him and I raised the money. As a good coach, he will definitely have suitors and because the fans and players love him, we tried all we could to retain him. But someone said some something unpleasant about the financial commitment of the government to the club and contributed too his leaving. We are taking step to hire another coach and soon, he will be named.
