While speaking on the achievemeny achievements recorded during his 12 months in office, the Edo State born Quantity Surveyor said he had to step on toes in order to arrest the wastages that left the club in N277 millions deficits before he was elected.
“We introduced the token course of N500 on July 1st, 2018 which has helped the club to generate an average of N2.3 Million per month over the period and this and other means are what we used in paying some of this debt and it was cut down to N13 million by the end of December, last year. This is part of my campaign promises”.
