Joel Ajayi
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusua has charged the newly trained in “CAF License” to do everything possible to use the knowledge, the skills acquired at the training to develop football in the country.
He gave this charge on Saturday when a total of 30 women coaches who began a first-ever, three-module CAF C-License coaching course in July were presented with their certificates at a colorful closing ceremony at closing
The event organized by the Nigeria Football Federation, the epochal coaching course saw more than a dozen former stars of the Super Falcons involved in the intensive classroom and on-field sessions that saw the coaches proceed on an internship with clubs after each of the first modules, with the third module ending with examinations at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project, MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, the NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau charged all participants not to rest on their oars and to be more proactive in their quest to effectively utilize and impact their knowledge in the immediate society.
He noted that his dream is to see women coaches pulling their weight with even men’s teams across the land, with accomplishments to underscore the fact that those appointments were well-deserved.
“We are keen to see you utilize the knowledge you have acquired in this program. The NFF will interface with the States that own Premier League clubs to integrate you into their system so that you can acquire more technical knowledge on the field.
“My dream is to see young women coaches standing in the dugout giving instructions in a men’s team. I will do my best to see that this happens during my tenure as the NFF President”.
Also, NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, tasked all graduates to productively apply the knowledge they gained while participating in the exercise, demanding that they continue to remain as good ambassadors of themselves and the country at large.
“The knowledge you have acquired, please make sure you apply the same. It is not enough to get the certificate. We hope you will be good ambassadors of this country so that the NFF will be fulfilled, and FIFA and CAF will also be excited about this program as we advance”.
