He loved the Coaching profession, and stood solidly to ensure that no one relegates the indigenous coaches to the background. <br /><br />“The incidence of these few days should re-awaken our consciousness on the need to fully lay more emphasis on the development of our football and the welfare of the coaches and players.<br /><br />“The demise of these our two strong members within the same week, calls for immediate prayers for us, and our families. God Almighty would console all of us and may his soul rest in perfect peace.<br /><br />“I call on the Edo State and Federal Government to immortalize him. His passion for the game of football and profession should be emulated by all his colleagues. <br /><br />“His hard work and ability to give results anytime he is given an assignment should also be emulated by his colleagues”.<br /><br />Patrick Ngwaogu<br />
