He added: “We want to ensure that the state league is strong again. Lagos is the home of league football in Nigeria. “We have a lot in stock for registered teams (benefits and waver to encourage the teams.) We have realized that we need to encourage football clubs in Lagos. This league will take us back to the glory days of Lagos football. We want to bring it back to encourage the people of Lagos. As we strive hard to bring back football to Lagos, we want to prepare the players for this.
