Kwara FA Elections: My mission, my vision – Olokoba 

 

Where I am coming from
I have a rich background in football development, spanning over forty years, which cuts across virtually all aspects of the development of the game.
I was strong supporter of the game in the state, as a member of Kwara United Supporters Club.
I managed football in and outside the state, with NEPA of Lagos, Kwara United FC as Welfare Officer, Board Member (I) and Chairman.
As the Special Assistant on Sports Matters to the Governor, I organized various grassroots competitions, i.e. Maigida Talent Hunt, Kwara Five-A-Side Street Soccer and others, where notable talents were discovered, among them are Adeshina Issa Gata, Segun Alebiosu, Wasiu Alalade and host of others.
As the Chairman, Ilorin East Football Council, I organized U-13 Chairman Cup Competition among Primary and Junior Secondary Schools in Ilorin East Local Government, where talents were also discovered, among whom are Abdullahi Gata, Alabi Oke-Ose now playing in Malaysia and many others.
Where I am going
#To run an all-inclusive football development agenda, where all stakeholders will have a say.
#More focus on grassroots football development in the state.
#Pursue genuine welfare package for players and coaches, especially after retirement.
#Strong synergy with the management of all Kwara Clubs in and outside league competition.
