Edo Governor to Attend Kadiri Ikhana Academy Launch
The official launch of Kadiri Ikhana’s football academy is scheduled for March 28 in Auchi, Edo State. The event will be attended by notable figures including Edo State Governor Senator Mondai Okpebholo, Malam Shehu Dikko (Director General of the Nigeria Football Federation), and Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau (NFF President).
Other dignitaries expected include Hon. Denni Idahosa (Deputy Governor of Edo State), Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele (Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission), and Hon.
