“The Badagry Divisional Football Association BDFA has been in existence for the past 34 years and by the Grace of God Almighty I want to announce that we have acquired our office for the first time since it’s existence.
“This is a good news for the members of the division and other football stakeholders in our division.The new secretariat has office equipments and we are looking forward to commissioning it.We have already informed all our invited guests and i am happy for the positive responses we got from them,”he said.
The BDFA first ever secretariat office will be officially opened this month of May and would be launched by the Commissioner For Youth and Social Development,Lagos FA Chairman and BDFA Patrons.
