22 years after winning double titles, 3SC 1998 set begs for rewards

Members of the 1998 set of Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan (3SC), who won double titles in 1998, have appealed to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to redeem the promises made to them by the government as a reward for their efforts.
 
Chairman of the club in 1998, Elder Bode Oyewole, in a letter to Governor Makinde, recalled the promises made by the then military governor of the state, Amen Oyakhire, adding that since then nothing has been heard of them.
 
The team won the Nigerian League title and the West African Football Union (WAFU) Cup in 1998. 

Also, each of the team officials was promised a sum of N2 million and a plot of land, while the club chairman was similarly promised N3 million and a plot of land.
 
Elder Oyewole revealed that the team officials had made numerous efforts to ensure that the team got its rewards, but their efforts have been abortive. 
 
“We didn’t fold our hands in the past 22 years. We have written several letters to successive governors that ruled the state after Oyakhire but none of them granted our demands,” Chief Oyewole noted.
