My Desire is to play for Nigeria – Italy based defender
As Lionel Messi and his Argentine teammates jubilated on Sunday after winning the world cup to fulfil their childhood dreams, Sulaiman Oyewale, Italy based Nigerian defender is also dreaming of playing for the Super Eagles and possibly win laurels for the country.
Oyewale, who plies his trade with Giugliano Calcio in the Italian Serie C said that he has learnt a lot in Italy under his coach and he will keep on proving his game, not just to remain relevant at his club, but also to make his ambition to play for Nigeria to become a reality.
“Every player dreams of representing his country one day. I have a strong desire to play for Nigeria, my greatest ambition is to be able to play for Nigeria, to represent Nigeria. It is my childhood dream,” Sulaiman Oyewale said.
“And just as Lionel Messi and his teammates achieved their dreams to win world cup for Argentina, I hope to also achieve my dream of representing my country and win international trophy.
“It is not just a dream or ambition, I am also seriously praying and working hard towards it. I pray this dream will be fulfilled soon.
He also revealed that playing in Italy has toughened him, especially the tactical aspect of football, adding that he is thankful to his coach for making it possible.
“It is thanks to the coach. The team is doing well because he always want us before a match to get the information available about the opposite team, their video, their characteristics and everything about our opponents.
“What I have learnt is that when we loose the ball we have to be aggressive, very energetic as we mark the opponents to retrieve the ball and we must play our games without being scared of any opponent.
“He is helping me to improve very well. Some times, he plays me as a left wing back, full left back or even at the left side of the midfield as an offensive player.
“It all depends on the opponents and thanks to hi. that am improving a lot,” he said.

CLTC DG Reaffirms FG’s Dedication to Nurturing Innovative, Productive Nigerian Youth
By Joel Ajayi
The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.
She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.
“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.
Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.
“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.
Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.
She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
