“I was able to successfully complete my senior Secondary school program, having joined the Fosla Academy in the 2016/2017 Academic Session. I was also able to be among the privilege few players that represented Nigeria at the U. 20 level, winning a place for the AFCON U.20,” he said.

Continuing, the Ibaji, Kogi state-born player said” I remain appreciative to our father, Alhaji Sani Lulu Abdullahi for his selfless role in building a future for very many of us.

“I must always thank the U20 Head Coach Dr Ladan Bosso for believing in me, and giving me the rear opportunity to serve Nigeria. I remember vividly my debut match against Cote D’ivoire, in the semi finals of the WAFU B U20 Championship, when he called me up just few minutes to end the match, with scoreline at 1-1,  and gave me confidence, directing that I should go into the field, and stabilize the team. It was there I realized that he had a lot of confidence in me. I thank God I did not disappoint him “.
