Adeleke said his administration would ensure that players are motivated to bring laurels for the state.
“I am a footballer, I played for my school, Ede Muslim Grammar School; I played number 7. Segun Odegbami was my role model then,” the Governor said.
He explained that he was surprised when he heard of the poor state of the sporting teams, noting that he is passionately prepared to fully equip the sporting teams for better performances.
