"Why I Donated N10m To Benue State Football Association" - Paul Edeh

The newly elected Chairman of the Benue State Football Association (BAFA), Barrister Paul Edeh, has said he donated the sum of N10m to the association to ensure that the new board takes-off on a sound financial footing.

The frontline promoter of female football in Nigeria also donated a brand-new Sienna bus to the football association.

It will be recalled that during his inauguration as the new Chairman of BAFA, Edeh had promised to boost the association with the now redeemed N10m pledge and a bus to ease transportation challenges.

The highly celebrated football administrator and president of Ratels Sports Development Foundation (RSDF) also led the new board on a courtesy visit to the Benue State governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia.

During the visit, the FA chairman informed the governor who was represented by his deputy, Barrister Sam Ode, that after its inaugural meeting, the new board considered it necessary to pay him a courtesy visit.

Paul Edeh said the Association will soon commence a grassroots football development programme which is designed to discover hidden talents in all wards of the state. According to him, all Local Governments in the state will organise a grassroots football competition which will involve all wards in each Local Government Area.

The discovered players in the competitions will be among those who will enjoy EduBall. EduBall is a programme where Education is combined with Football with 100% financial support by the Chairman of Benue State Football Association, Barrister Paul Edeh.
