# NFCA KANO HONOURS AGENT PAUL OMAMOMO OJO FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT

The Nigerian Football Coaches Association of Nigeria (NFCA), Kano Chapter, has honoured renowned football agent and grassroots football developer, Paul Omamomo Ojo, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to football development, particularly his commitment to discovering young talents and creating international opportunities for Nigerian footballers.

The recognition celebrates Ojo's consistent efforts in identifying promising players, nurturing their ambitions and connecting them with professional football opportunities both within Nigeria and abroad.

Speaking during the award presentation, the Chairman of NFCA Kano Chapter, Barrister Ibrahim Gwadabe, explained that Paul Ojo was selected for the honour because of his remarkable commitment to promoting football development and opening international pathways for young and talented Nigerian players.

He noted that Ojo's contributions have continued to make a positive impact on the football ecosystem by giving aspiring players opportunities to pursue professional careers and fulfil their dreams.

In his acceptance speech, Agent Paul Omamomo Ojo expressed profound appreciation to the leadership and members of the NFCA Kano Chapter for finding him worthy of the recognition. He described the award as a great honour and a fresh motivation to intensify his efforts towards the growth of Nigerian football.

Ojo reaffirmed his commitment to using his experience, professional relationships and international football network to discover more talents and create opportunities for young Nigerian players to showcase their abilities on the global stage.

Beyond player development, he also made a significant commitment to supporting football coaches in Kano State, promising to facilitate opportunities for at least two or three coaches from the state to participate in overseas coaching courses, professional training programmes and other capacity-building initiatives whenever such opportunities arise.

He stressed that the development of coaches must remain a major priority in Nigerian football, noting that properly trained and educated coaches are essential to identifying, developing and producing quality players.

According to him, sustainable football development cannot be achieved by focusing exclusively on players while neglecting the technical education and professional advancement of those responsible for developing them.

His pledge to support Kano coaches further demonstrates his belief that football development must be comprehensive, involving players, coaches and other critical stakeholders.

The honour by NFCA Kano Chapter represents another recognition of Paul Omamomo Ojo's growing influence in grassroots football development and international player connections.

For Ojo, the recognition is not merely an award but a renewed responsibility to contribute more to Nigerian football, strengthen grassroots structures and ensure that deserving players and coaches are not denied opportunities to achieve their professional ambitions.

His commitment reinforces the importance of private-sector involvement, international partnerships and strategic investment in human capacity as essential ingredients for the future growth of Nigerian football.
