Ex-Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju will mentor students at the second FCV Gladiator Camp at Grange School, Lagos from April 1 to 5, organisers have said.
AFCON 1994 winner Adepoju was part of the Eagles to the World Cups in 1994, 1998 and 2002.
Adepoju described his involvement in the camp as part of his efforts to help in developing the country’s teeming youthful population.
He said, “I decided to be part of the FCV Gladiator Camp because of the passion I have for youth development and the belief I have in discovering future stars.
“I hope to show them what it takes to be successful through hard work and discipline and take them through my journey as an ex-footballer.”
The one-week training camp is organised by Dynaspro Promotion in collaboration with UK-based FCV International Football Academy with the sole aim of identifying talents among students in Nigeria.
CEO of Dynaspro, Oluseyi Oyebode, said, “Nigeria is a nation blessed with talents in sports but if we don’t discover them early, they will waste and that is why we want to fill this gap by unearthing and nurturing them to stardom.
“The coaches coming and with the involvement of Mutiu Adepoju will inspire and help the students to fulfil their potential in football. It is going to be a fun-filled camp mixed with several activities put in place to mould the participants during their stay.”
