Laudatory messages have not ceased coming in for the Plateau State Football Association, after marking their one year in office last weekend.
The latest is coming from Hon. Yakubu Mama Dauda, owner of Jeddy Academy Football Academy.
According to this passionate football administrator who has the youngest player in Mighty Jets International FC says: “We football academy owners are very lucky to have someone like Hon. Suleiman Yahaya Kwande as the leader of football in the State.
Hon. Yakubu Mama Dauda,who joined forces with Sammy Sports International Ltd, owners of SSI Media and Leagues to initiate the move of organizing these novelty matches to celebrate the ever active and resourceful PFA, after lauding the football house achievements in just one year,enjoins them to endeavor to keep the academies busy all through the year: “I can’t stop praising the Plateau State Football Association for bringing some fresh air to football in the State. We are proud of his abundant achievements in the sports industry on the Plateau. The PFA has repositioned football academies on the Plateau. They have successfully created a data base to protect players in academies from being pouched by other teams without any documentation or compensation. We are happy that PFA now has data for all players. PFA has given football academies a conducive environment for football to thrive.”
Hon. Yakubu Mama Dauda continues: “Through the tireless effort of the Chairman, the PFA has been revitalized. New life has been injected into Plateau State’s football landscape where players, coaches and administrators can grow and develop. Hon. Kwande has also put organisers of football competitions on their toes whereby at every competition the finals must be played, unlike before when people will collect registration from teams.”
Hon. Yakubu Mama Dauda concludes: “Despite all the good things the FA is doing, we are like Oliver Twist that always ask for more. I will enjoin the PFA to have an academy league for the state to keep the academies busy. The league should have division 1 , 2 and 3 to promote young talents discovery across the state. PFA should endeavor to enhance infrastructural development (stadium) for the academies. This will enhance playing conditions and spectators experience thereby reviving the hunger and thirst for pure football experience among enthusiasts.”
