Yemi Idowu, Chairman of Nath Boi FC, highlights the lack of reform structures as a major obstacle in grassroots football development in Nigeria. He praises the efforts of football academies but notes the absence of adequate support for coaches and players at the grassroots level.

Idowu advocates for a model similar to Morocco's successful youth development system, emphasizing the importance of investing in grassroots football. He urges the Nigerian Football Federation to focus on youth development and decentralize funds to ensure regular play for children without the need for extensive travel.
