Nigerian Football Legends Deserve Hall of Fame Museum - Udeze

By Enediong Silver

Former Super Eagles defender, Ifeanyi Udeze, has joined the voices of many Nigerian all over the world to urge the Nigeria Football boards to start rewarding hard work not just in football but in all ramifications.

Recently, Kwara State Government led by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazag renamed the name of the Kwara State Sports Complex after the late Super Eagles legend, Rashidi Yekini.
Speaking in the wake of the demise of former Super Eagles defender, Ajibade Babalade,
Udeze sent a statement to the Federal Government and the Nigeria Football Federation to start honouring and awarding Nigerians who have given their all for their country while they are alive.

He said: “Nigerian footballers, dead or living, who sacrificed for the country when they played for the Super Eagles, need to be remembered in a memorable manner.
“Though they are neglected when they retire from football, they can be made proud of
their contributions to the country through a hall of fame museum.

“As an ex footballer, I will be delighted if a hall of fame museum is constructed for people of all generations to see the
footballers and their roles in nation building.
It will also motivate present Super Eagles
players to give their best in the national
team,” he added.
