Godwin Bamigboye who is Chairman FOSLA Academy Action Committee on Participation in the World School Football Championship said that FOSLA, at this level, should be seen as a Nigerian Project.
He explained that within a space of 12 years, FOSLA Academy has made visible and tangible progress and achievement in academics and Sports.
The sports administrator further stated that among all other verifiable achievements, FOSLA Academy’s overwhelming performance in the National Principals’ Cup also brought to the limelight Onuche Ogbelu who as an SS3 student played for the Flying Eagles at the 2023 AFCON.
Bamigboye, therefore, called on the Federal Government, public and private organizations including philanthropic-minded Nigerians to join hands in helping FOSLA Academy to emerge champions of the 2023 edition of the World School Football Championship.
