  Tuesday in Abuja, he reacted to an invitation to attend the grand finale by commending the project. When told that the programme was in its 14th consecutive year and was geared towards the discovery of talent, Elegbeleye, an apostle of catch them young, was all praise for the sponsors and the consultant, Paul Bassey and promised to attend.

  “At the National Sports Commission, we appreciate programmes like this that are geared towards the discovery of stars, especially when they come from private concerns.
