This honour will propel me to do more in helping talented and disciplined footballers of Mbaduku extraction further their careers in more established clubs at home and abroad. But this can only be possible with the formation of Mbaduku United Football Club from where these boys can be trained and exported out to the Big Leagues” he said.
Mr Akpenpuun also commended Mbaduku leaders and elites for identifying with football as a tool for ensuring peace and development and sued for sustainable peace, cooperation and support in order to move the community to greater heights through football.

This year’s edition also featured a peace match between Obudu and Mbaduku, cultural dances, climaxing with a grand finale that featured award presentation to deserving sons and daughters and an appeal fund launch to complete developmental projects already underway.
