Ejidike pledges support for Peter Rufai’s Soccerthon project

It has been a week of top-notch engagements for Nigeria’s Pillar Of Sports, High Chief Donatus Agu- Ejidike, as he continued his drives for a better society, using sports as a veritable tool.

The latest engagement was the courtesy visit paid on him, by the former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai, Thursday, in his office in Ilorin, Kwara State.

According to Peter Rufai, the visit to the state was also to promote his Dodo Mayana Soccerthon project.
Rufai explained that the Dodo Mayana Soccerthon Project is designed to discover talents from the grassroots and push them to greater heights, career-wise.

He added that the program is an avenue to give back to the country, what he has benefitted from Nigeria, as a nation.

He equally commended the Nigeria Pillar of Sports for his contributions towards Sports development in the country.

He also took time to appreciate the support of the Kwara State Football Association chairman, Abdullahi Musa-Thuraya, for his warmth, and supports since he came into Kwara state.

In his welcome address, Chief Agu-Ejidike expressed his usual willingness to partner with Dodo Mayana foundation in its drive to unearth talents that would do the Nation proud, like Rufai himself.

” Let me assure you of the support and willingness of the national office of the Nigeria pillar of sports towards your project, which we believe would help discover and expose great talents that would make Nigeria proud as you did in your playing days,” Ejidike, who is also a board member of the Karate Of Federation of Nigeria, assured.
