He admitted that the demands of grassroots football especially at a developmental stage can only be handled by someone who is determined as it’s easy to give up if one isn’t motivated enough.
“The name Skenty is a champion name and that’s what we are building on. It has been quite a good ride because this is a developmental process so we are still hoping for more,” he explained in a close discussion with Sports247.ng.
“We have a manager anyway that helps out financially which makes it kind of easier but nonetheless, I run a personal team ‘Mercy Tree’ and I know the cost and what’s expected.”
“It’s a different management, I work in both teams and the challenges are no different in terms of equipment, feeding while in camp, transportation, and player wellbeing”.

Bosun admitted that he’s working towards a higher goal which is to secure a top job in Nigeria’s top-flight league and beyond as it has been his dream for a very long.
Reminiscing on his player’s days although he didn’t play professionally, he stated that he had to quit earlier because he wasn’t making headway, unlike his colleagues who had a very good and productive career.
