“I’m saddled with the responsibility of repositioning Cricket in Nigeria. It’s a concerted effort as there is a workable effort by the current board in which is in place.”
He added that, the ICC is happy with the progress of the sports of cricket in the country hence the need to redouble the effort of making Nigeria a cricket nation in Africa once more.
“Cricket in Nigeria has gotten recognition by ICC due to the exploits of our national teams in African organized competitions.”
“That means we need to redouble our efforts in order to be a force to be reckoned with in the game.”
