The newly elected chairman of Lagos State Football Association (LSFA), Fuad Oki has assured football stakeholders in the state that during his own tenure football would be better than previous administration.
Oki said that his administration would turn things around saying that the era of state FA organising FA Cup and Eko football league are gone.
He promised to introduce more football competitions that would keep coaches, players, club owners, referees, sport journalists and other football stakeholders busy throughout his tenure.
“During my own tenure, there would be a lot of football competitions from division to the state. Aside FA Cup, more football competitions like Oba’s Cup, Lagos Street Soccer and various leagues of different categories would be introduced to the club owners.
“If all these competitions are in place, many of our coaches, referees and other football stakeholders would be fully engaged which is lacking in the last administration. All I want is the cooperation of all the stakeholders so that we can achieve common goal at the end of my tenure,” he said.
Oki however thanked the football family in the state for their support given to him during his campaign and elections proper.
He said his victory in the poll was well deserved and vowed to take the football to the next level during his own administration.
Oki polled 14 votes to defeat Alhaji Azeez Tade with a vote to emerge as newly elected Lagos FA chairman.
