“Diversity and plurality need not to be a liability except where it is mismanaged. We can through constructive engagement, not only profit but turn ethnic and religious diversity into asset and on the process, transform Plateau North be become a model of recovery on overcoming adversity, animosity and hate. Peace is priceless and paramount and is my passion.” He said.

“We don’t just want to belong to Nigeria’s football history, we want to belong to it’s future. The way to that future is what we are doing today, giving the stars of the future opportunity to come to lime light.
