“We are proud to have discovered Ndidi, Iheanacho, Alampasu, Osimen and lots more. They played in the Lagos Junior League at different times before moving abroad for greener pastures. Now we want the LCDAs and LGAs in Lagos to register for the league,” said Disu, who applauded the chairperson of Lagos Mainland LGA, who also doubles as Chairman of Chairmen of the Lagos LCDAs and LGAs, Rashidat Omolola- Essien.
